An opinion but one held by all I knew who watched Pat McCormick air his weather reports on-air. Pat used a light-hearted approach when giving his weather report. I have never seen any other weather broadcaster use a similar style. He was funny without using obvious humor such as jokes. It was mostly Pat's style, his word usage and mannerisms that conveyed the humor. I looked forward to seeing his broadcasts, they were enlightening AND entertaining. Pat was, to me, a true broadcast professional and KTVU was intelligent enough to allow him to use his own unique style. I miss Pat and his weather reports.Obbop 20:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, he had a pleasant, folksy manner about him. Captain Quirk (talk) 23:04, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He hosted Dialing for Dollars as mentioned. More famously Janis Joplin had a song where one line was "Oh Lord,wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz,Dialing For Dollars is trying to call me". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.116.55 (talk) 01:51, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He's still alive[edit]

KTVU has confirmed that he's still alive.50.136.139.204 (talk) 20:51, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
