November 9 update: Due to app errors, I have disabled the Tapatalk plug-in. As such, the Buzzboard is currently unavailable in Tapatalk. I am trying to do a clean reinstall, but each reinstall attempt is generating database errors. I am hopeful that the issue will be able to be resolved in the next few days.

Thank you for your patience!

This is beyond sad. I always enjoyed his forecasts.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

I swear he was on the radio right up to the end? I know I’ve heard him recently.

My condolences and sympathies to his family. Far too young to have lost someone.

WWJ is like a security blanket, it’s always there for you, traffic and weather on the 8,s.

Sometimes I listen, my mid drifts, and I realize “hey I just missed the weather”… then with a comfort, I think”it will be back in 9 min”


I remember Bob Larsen was another meteorologist that seemed on all the time on WWJ from Accuweather.

“I’m accuweather meteorologist bob larsen ….”

Heard that all hours. Babinski too.

Oh no! :cry:
I sometimes twist the dial across the AM band late at night. Always found it amusing to hear Carl Babinski on WWJ, then on WBBM, WINS, WBZ, KYW and a few others, giving those local markets' forecasts within a few minutes of each other. Always opened with "Early on this __day morning..."

According to his obituary, Carl enjoyed working overnights. The first time I heard Carl was when I worked for WXYT, the former Talk Radio 1270. He was new on the air, and the late Glenn Haege "Ask the Handyman" often referred to him as Carl "Bad to Bone" Babinski.

It's too bad we haven't made more progress when it comes to cancer. Dying at 53 is terrible. And yes, he worked almost up to the very end.

R.I.P. Carl Babinski so sad of his passing yeah 53 years old is way too young. I lost my 8TH grade/science teacher from 6 to 8TH grade to cancer she wasn't really at school for the second half of the year until spring she took some days off when she was at school wasn't teaching just sitting and listening. She passed away in the fall of 95 as my friend told me about her passing.
