: Rick McLaughlin, who was a news anchor in the 1980s and 1990s with what was then Tribune Radio Network, has passed away from cardiac arrest.
: Rick was also a news anchor and talk show host at WROK before attending law school at Northern Illinois University, and working as an attorney in Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office.
I was shocked to hear of Rick's passing. I knew him well as a friend and colleague. I worked with him at WROK for many years. He was a HUGE talent and I will miss him.
