About Jim McLaughlin
I've had the good fortune of being part of the excellent Connect! team since last Fall. It's an honor to play a role in such a classy operation. My broadcasting career began in 1976 at WCCF radio in Punta Gorda where I ran a one-man news operation and hosted what was then only the second local call-in radio talk show in Southwest Florida. After a year there, Wink-TV hired me as their Charlotte County Bureau Chief. Several months later, I moved into Ft. Myers and by Spring of 1978 I was the weekend anchorman and the rest, as they say, is history. I retired from Wink in 2005 and have been devoting my time and effort to my commercial photography business until, that is, WGCU came calling. The Connect! program is an exciting concept and I'm proud to be part of the WGCU team.
