WNDU Celebrates 70 Years: Honoring Jack Nolan

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - We anchored the 16 Saturday Morning Show together for 15 years. Jack Nolan helped launch it back in 1994.

But it was actually sports that brought Jack to Michiana.

He did play-by-play for Notre Dame football and especially men’s basketball games for close to 40 years. He earned a number of awards and honors along the way.

Jack met his match at WNDU. Rhonda Brown was a part-time weather forecaster who eventually became his wife. Together, they anchored the Sunday morning news. This fall, they’ll be married for 40 years.

After leaving station in 2006, Jack continued his sports coverage with Fighting Irish Digital Media.

He retired to Florida but doesn’t sit around on the beach. I don’t think Jack ever sat around for more than three or four seconds. Jack and Rhonda are now world travelers and enjoy exploring new countries and cultures.
