  1. For some odd reason, I wouldn’t be surprised if she pops up at 22 W Washington.
  2. If there was an announcement, I didn’t see it, but he and Dina anchored the 9&10 last night.
  3. Last night was Joe’s last as a WGN-TV anchor. I was surprised to learn he won his first Emmy while there; he’d been in Portland I believe for two decades before. I know this will never happen, but I’d love to see Jim Williams come back from CBS and anchor 9&10 with Micah.
  4. Looks like the good folks at channel 7 pissed off viewers, blurring the faces of white gun holders intimidating protesters at a NW In diana march. After the backlash, WLS deleted their social media posting of the tape, and replaced it with the raw footage.

  5. I’m could’ve sworn I saw this posted here earlier, but anyway, the axe swung at 22 W Washington today: https://www.robertfeder.com/2020/05/27/mass-layoffs-cbs-2-hit-pam-zekman-valued-members-team/
  6. It’s been a few days https://www.robertfeder.com/2020/04/21/cbs-2-opens-terrific-new-chapter-247-streaming-news-service/
  7. I’ll miss Steve too. I was pissed when Mark whomever from WFLD came in to replace Steve on the 9 pm news. I grew up watching Steve and Allison at 9. I was really hoping for a message from her today. I hope Allison is doing well and best wishes to Steve.
  8. The Cubs posted a video on Facebook thanking WGN-TV for 72 years https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157367414205659&id=30530605658
  9. Has Nexstar voiced an opinion as to CLTV? Other than WGN keepin’ on with the status quo?
  10. Now that Kendis’ exit is official, I wonder if Terrell will head east? Especially if his filling in was successful.
  11. That is interesting. Did he anchor from New York or Chicago? If Chicago, did he also anchor the WLS show as normal?!
  12. I’ll be damned! That’s exactly what I thought. Thanks for looking that up. I didn’t remember that Diann was the market’s highest paid news anchor; I wish she would’ve stayed, I’m sure she’d still be the main anchor. I also wish Roseanne Tellez would’ve stayed at WGN; she had a great anchor gig on the city’s top rated morning news, now she’s out on the streets on the city’s lowest rated newscast. Dang.
  13. For some reason I’m thinking she was fired too. My recollection is on Linda MacLennan‘s last night at/on WBBM, Diann still hadn’t renewed with WLS, so station management pulled her off the air; no one realized it at the time, but Diann and Linda had the same final night at their respective stations. I’m also recalling that Diann then went on a tour of black radio stations in the city basically protesting WLS’ move to take her off the air. I don’t recall if she had a non-compete or not, but also don’t remember it being too long before she appeared on channel 2.
  14. I was thinking the same thing
  15. Man arrested for harassing a female WLS-TV metorologist... http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-man-accused-of-harassing-abc-meteorologist-20180520-story.html
  16. That’s why they’re Chicago’s Very Own!
  17. I was never a fan of Mark Suppelsa and Ben Bradley waltzing in and occupying the anchor desk while Steve Sanders and Tom Negovan received demotions. WGN, to me, seems anchor heavy. I like the team of Tom Negovan and Micah Materre. Perhaps keep Ben on as an achor at 4, in house reporter at 5&6, in the field at 9 and 10, and as a backup anchor for Tom’s Negovan.
  18. Per today's Robert Feder column, CBS 2 is working on a new set; should debut next month.
  19. Check this out! Larry was the "Around Town" reporter with anchors Sonja Gantt and Jackie Bange and weather with Jim Ramsey.
  20. I hope this is not true. Talk about a step backwards. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/2/5/look-which-ny-anchor-is-interviwing-in-chicago-today
