Garry Meier, co-star with former radio partner Steve Dahl of 1980s TV efforts such as “It’s Too Early” and the award-winning “Greetings from Graceland,” has landed a one-hour interview special with Weigel Broadcasting’s WCIU-Ch. 26.

“The Garry Meier Special” is set for 10:30 p.m. July 11 on Channel 26. It represents something new for the 3 p.m.-to-7 p.m. weekday host on Chicago Tribune parent Tribune Co.’s WGN-AM 720, although Meier was a full-time WGN-Ch. 9 feature reporter for around nine months in 1995.
