Chicago broadcasting legend Orion Samuelson has died at the age of 91. Samuelson grew up on his family’s farm in Wisconsin and the famer in hm never left. Though he did numerous on-air jobs during his career – including hosting the morning WGN-TV show “Top of the Morning” in the 1960s, his work as a farming news broadcaster is where he truly excelled. Samuelson spent 60 years broadcasting until his retirement in 2020. See the WGN-TV story here.
