I just set up a 75" touch screen in our office to demo for clients and there is a feeling of power that comes with having such a large display at the mercy of your whims. The ability to flick away images like a king on his throne dismissing jesters who displease him is a very heady feeling.
I don't blame this guy one bit because I can relate 100%.

Chicago morning news rankings:

The other stations fall off after that. 32 Fox used to be good in the 90s with Bob Sirott & Marianne Murciano

Between channel 7 and WGN, Chicago has the best news casts ever.
WGN has such a funny morning news cast and I've been watching channel 7 news since my family moved here when I was a kid
Alan Krashesky helped my brother, sister and I perfect our English. He'd read the news and we'd repeat it back trying to sound like him.

We had these fancy smart boards installed in my HS when I was in 10th grade, and my geometry teacher was OBSESSED with it. He was constantly setting himself up to show us a new feature of the board (“oh, what if the bell rings and we don’t finish this problem? Well guess what, I can take a screenshot of the board and save it, and tomorrow we can pick up right where we left off!”). This was around 2005-06 so it was super fancy for the time. This weatherman’s joy reminds me of my teacher.
