Jym ganahl death at the age of 76 after a long career at WCMH, Wsyx

Ganahl died on February 3rd for natural reasons, according to his family. His death was announced today.

Ganahl, who is known for his folky weather forecasts, withdrew from Wsyx (ABC6) after 60 years of delivery of weather forecasts to central Ohio. Ganahl began his career in Iowa, but worked on WCMH-TV (NBC4) from 1979 to 2016. He was the main meteorologist of the station before traveling.

At the age of 17, five years after he began studying weather, he marched into the KWWL TV studio to tell the station manager that he could deliver a more accurate prognosis than its weatherman delivered. He got the job and was later hired by NBC4 from Waterloo.
