Fahey Flynn (1916 in Escanaba, Michigan – August 8, 1983 in Chicago, Illinois) was a radio and television newscaster who spent the majority of his career in Chicago. Robert Feder of the Chicago Sun-Times described him as "an avuncular Irishman with a jaunty bow tie [and] a twinkle in his eye".^[1]

A six-time Emmy winner,^[2] Flynn worked in Chicago from 1941 until his death from internal hemorrhaging in 1983 at age 67. From 1953 to 1968, he was an anchor for WBBM-TV. He then joined Joel Daly as co-anchor at WLS-TV, and by 1971 the pair had become Chicago's highest-rated broadcasting team.^[1]
