John Lansing, former CBS Chicago and Minnesota news director and NPR CEO, dies at 67
CHICAGO -- John Lansing, a onetime CBS Minnesota and CBS Chicago and news director who went on to become the chief executive officer of National Public Radio, has died. NPR reported Lansing died Wednesday at his home in Wisconsin, at the age of 67. He retired from his position at the head of the public broadcasting organization only months ago. As noted in a biography published by the U.S.
During Lansing's tenure—which ended right around the time of the historic and deadly heat wave of July 1995—Channel 2 boasted the talent of the all-star weather team of Steve Baskerville, Harry Volkman, and fellow Minneapolis alum Paul Douglas, who took his forecasts to the roof of CBS Chicago's McClurg Court broadcast center. Meanwhile, the acclaimed Tim Weigel joined the station as sports director.
