"Tim, Dick, Robin And Casey - Together Again"

A brief promo for WJW/8's "FOX 8 News In The Morning" implies something of a one-day reunion of a former long-time station on-air team during Monday's show...anchors Tim Taylor and Robin Swoboda, weatherman Dick Goddard and sportscaster Casey Coleman. (You can also see a graphic promoting this at FOX 8's website.)

We're not sure what's up here. For one, Taylor and Goodard work together every night on FOX 8 News at 6. And Casey Coleman's current health situation is well-known...we'll be thrilled if he's able to come in to the FOX 8 studios tomorrow even for a brief appearance. Or, perhaps WJW will send out a camera crew to his suburban Cleveland home. On today's Cleveland Browns Radio Network broadcast, Jim Donovan noted briefly that Casey was "feeling well", and WTAM's web page updating Casey's condition would appear to confirm that...that obstacles to some of his cancer therapy seem to be in the past for now.

Robin Swoboda, of course, recently left the morning co-host position at Salem Cleveland CCM WFHM/95.5 "The Fish" for family reasons, and it'll be good to see her make such a visit as well.

Anyway, just a heads up from this corner...perhaps Tim Taylor's recent retirement announcement got folks waxing nostalgic up on South Marginal Drive, and they arranged this visit...
