Tomorrow will mark the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of legendary Action News anchor and weatherman Jim O'Brien. I'm interested to see if there'll be any on-air or online mention of this. I noticed recently that channel 6 has embraced its history by sharing old photographs of Jim O'Brien on Instagram for Throwback Thursday, inviting viewers to 'join us in celebrating Jim's legacy.'

Better late than never. Action News announced that they will broadcast a tribute to Jim O'Brien 'next Monday'.

As a side note, the 30th anniversary of his passing was commemorated by Action News on Facebook and by Jim Gardner on Twitter.
