Hal O'Halloran was one of the founding stars from WBAY-TV's early days.
Hal came to WBAY from Chicago, where he woke up Mid America with WLS Radio and the Smile-a-While Crew. The 6'2" O'Halloran was trained as a singer. He had a mellow voice and a melodious Irish laugh.
Hal was known for his love for children, and was the star of WBAY-TV's first children's show, "Captain Hal." The show was the predecessor of Russ Widoe's "Colonel Caboose."
