Georgie56 3059 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Jeff Hoover just announced that there's another Morning News primetime special coming in December. Please let it be a holiday special. I made a mistake. It’s in November. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The Blackhawks coverage on 9 is using the same theme and color scheme for their graphics. The navy and gray is going to look so weird, but the theme fits beautifully, as it's most similar to the old hockey theme. *Correction: the blue is changed to black on the scoreboard, while the blue remains everywhere else.

24994J 5269 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It took her leaving for Jennifer Lyons to realize that she wasn't ready to exit the business. She's returning as ND before her office chair got cold. https://www.robertfeder.com/2018/10/09/shes-back-jennifer-lyons-returns-wgn-news-director/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 609 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Well, that's certainly a surprise. Didn't see that one coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningNews 1290 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Does Courtney Hall ad-lib? Every time I see her on the morning news she is somehow stumbling over every other word or emphasizing the wrong words. Goodness 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 609 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The entire midday crew is out today. Patrick Elwood and Amy Rutledge are anchoring with Morgan doing weather. Weird seeing an entire crew being out on a perfectly standard weekday in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Steve has been off since last week, Demetrius is working the late shift for Tom, and I guess Dina is probably just off, as well. Odd coincidence, but I doubt there's anything going on. Both Patrick and Amy were the backups for Steve last week. It's nice to see Elwood getting some more desk time.

Spring Rubber 609 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Demetrius always did the 4-6am and 11am-1pm newscasts from 2015-2017, right? That's gotta be an annoying shift. He probably had to come to work at 2am or earlier and didn't get to leave until after 1pm...all for just 4 total hours of airtime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex979 118 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Larry is hosting a new weekend show on WGN, “Backstory,” which will delve into Chicago-related historical, cultural, and religious topics. It premieres Sunday, October 28th and runs for the subsequent 4 weeks, and new episodes will be produced periodically throughout the year. Good to see more original local programming on GN. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3059 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) I think this is relevant because WGN broadcasts it. The McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. https://www.chicagothanksgivingparade.com/ Edited October 31, 2018 by Guest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. https://www.chicagothanksgivingparade.com/ At this point the parade is the only Chicago program that still airs on WGN America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 818 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) I think this is relevant because WGN broadcasts it. The McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. https://www.chicagothanksgivingparade.com/ Nothing against Uncle Dan’s, but I’m surprised they (CFA) couldn’t track down a bigger title sponsor. This new name sounds weird. I would have just went back to the ‘State Street Thanksgiving Day..’ one or went with the full name..Uncle Dan’s Outfitters.

24994J 5269 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Uncle Dan sounds like a new Mike Toomey or Jeff Hoover morning show character. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the first 5 minutes, if you ever wanted to see Paul Konrad shirtless in a bubble bath and Tom Skilling's chest hair in a bath robe, y'all are in luck.
