In 2006, former WPTA-TV (Channel 21, Fort Wayne) meteorologist Chris Bradley joined WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio. Today, he's their chief meteorologist. Earlier this year, doctors diagnosed Mr. Bradley with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He underwent chemotherapy, had a stem cell transplant, and went into remission. Mr. Bradley's family told WBNS-TV that he's no longer in remission and he's battling severe pneumonia while in the ICU at a Columbus, Ohio hospital.
