When I asked Skilling about it Thursday, he seemed as dumbfounded as I over why the Tribune would highlight another station\u2019s weatherman above Skilling\u2019s own forecast. \u201cThat is a bit peculiar, isn't it?\u201d he said. \u201cYou kind of wonder what the thought process with that was.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Tribune representative called the matter \u201ca licensing issue,\u201d adding in a statement: \u201cWe\u2019re working with WGN to find a solution so that we can use Tom Skilling videos. But until we sort things out, we want to\u00a0continue to be able to share video content with readers, and will do so using video which we\u00a0have licensed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Rennie, president and general manager of WGN, said: \u201cWe\u2019re working to solve the issue. We have different video platforms and we\u2019re trying to find a solution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
