Timeline
In June 2000, Weigel began experiencing vision problems. An MRI revealed a brain tumor, and he underwent immediate surgery. After his operation and subsequent radiation treatments, Weigel returned to work. However, six months later, an MRI showed a recurrent tumor.
Tim enjoyed a side career of playing semi-pro Football for the Chicago Lions in the late '70s into the early '80s. He was a running back who was known as White Shoes Weigel. In 1999, he was inducted into the American Football Association's Semi-Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In February 1995, Weigel joined WBBM-TV as its lead sports anchor/sports director. He also began writing a sports column for the Chicago Sun-Times.
In 1992, Weigel married morning radio personality Vicki Truax. They had one daughter, Teddi, in 1994.
In 1971, Weigel returned to Chicago as a college football writer for the Chicago Daily News. In 1975, Weigel began filing reports for WMAQ-AM and several months later became a sports anchor for WMAQ-TV. In 1977, Weigel joined WLS-TV in Chicago. During his long tenure at the ABC affiliate, Weigel became known for his packaged bloopers which he dubbed "Weigel Wieners" and also for his colorful attire. For a brief time at WLS-TV (1981-1983), Weigel was a news anchor, but he largely was the station's lead sports anchor during his tenure at the station, which lasted from 1977 until December 1994, when he was fired to make way for Mark Giangreco.
Weigel later moved with his family to Lake Forest, Illinois, where he graduated from Lake Forest High School. He finished third in his class and then attended Yale University, where he played football and was in the same Residential College as future movie critic Gene Siskel. He graduated from Yale with a bachelor's degree in history, and after two years of working, returned home to the Chicago area to earn a master's degree in film from Northwestern University in 1970.
Weigel married his high school sweetheart, Kathy Worthington, in 1966. They had two children, Rafer Weigel, also a former WLS-TV sports anchor now at Fox 32 Chicago, and Jenniffer Weigel, who became a Chicago television reporter. Weigel and Worthington divorced in 1975. He later married Carol Phifer, and that marriage also ended in divorce.
John Timothy Weigel (March 4, 1945 – June 17, 2001), known professionally as Tim Weigel, was a Chicago broadcaster who spent most of his career as a television sports anchor and reporter.
