About this Article

The stories, the jokes and even the tears flow freely when legendary WGN-TV Channel 9 News anchor Jack Taylor talks about his 50-year career in broadcasting. “News anchors,” says the former resident of Kildeer and Mundelein, “come on the air and say 'Good evening,' and proceed to tell you why it's not.” Taylor is getting a new audience this summer, thanks to the College of DuPage radio station.
