Looking Back, Looking Ahead 2016 In Review & Predictions For 2017

December 7, 2016 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Trump QuoteThis is one of my most eagerly anticipated programs of the year! Each December, I present a recap of my choice for the top 10 news stories of the previous year and then make my predictions for what will be the top news stories of the next year. And just to keep me honest, I show you my list of predictions made last December so you can see how well I did! 

2016 was a year of surprises, anger, joy and transition. From the startling upset victory of Donald Trump in the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote by over 2.5 million votes to the amazing World Series victory by the Chicago Cubs, 2016 World Series  - Chicago Cubs v. Cleveland Indians: Game Seven2016 seemed to have drama, surprises and controversy around every turn. The world lost Prince and Antonin Scalia. Muhammed Ali and Fidel Castro. Terrorist attacks shook New York and Ohio while racial violence and hate crimes soared with sickening frequency

 

We’ll also look at the list of the important people we lost in 2016 and begin thinking about the challenges and possibilities of the new year.
