Channel 8 News

I especially like Channel 8 News because their News Men and Women are so friendly and caring about their individual positions there.
And I also like the fact that we can hear about Illinois News and not just about Iowa as Channel 6 does because they’re in Iowa.

WQAD Rocks!

Morgan has become one of the top meteorologists in the world! Thank you James and Andrew! I wish you all were paid what you deserve! Maybe someday your owners will give back! It’s funny how the rich keep getting richer! F you corporate America!
