Dear Tom, When did you start doing the weather for WGN-TV? Robert Turner Dear Robert, I started working at WGN-TV on August 13, 1978, and I have worked there ever since. As a youngster, I noticed that the weather forecasts given on WKKD radio in Aurora, Illinois, where I lived, were sometimes inaccurate because they were intended for the Chicago area in general and not specifically for Aurora. I told WKKD that I could prepare better weather forecasts for Aurora and, after a successful test period, they hired me to prepare forecasts for Aurora.
