Ummmm She has been dead for 7 years. I saw it on Infowars.

WJBK did the same thing in 1990.

Tribune creates one big pool of capital money each year, then all 42 stations have to compete for a piece of it. Your new field cameras are competing against someone else's live truck or spot server. Priority goes to items needed to keep the station on the air and to air commercials. Everything else is a begging battle that goes on all year. Capital money for a set only goes high on the list if it is part of a building remodel or construction, such as L.A. or OKC. Otherwise, sets are given the same consideration as filing cabinets. If you got one 15 years ago and it hasn't fallen over yet, you don't need a new one.

Working, busy with alot.. I've been lurking here every so often. WGN's and WBBM's current management don't care about things like sets, graphics, music, "flashiness" etc.. Those are the last things on their list. Alot of the same old, same old Chicago station/newsroom management that are stuck in their old ways and thinking people only watch because of talent.. WBBM will only make cosmetic (graphic and music) changed because of corporate orders/mandate. It's a good thing WLS and WFLD got good bosses that came from other markets to finally shake some things up around here. WMAQ is smart for following in their direction too.

This is awful news. My prayers to Chris and his family.

Three storm chasers were killed in a crash in Texas today (non-weather related). I saw a Weather Channel logo on one of the vehicles in a separate Twitter photo. http://www.kcbd.com/story/35017443/dps-3-storm-chasers-killed-in-crash-near-spur-tx

Meet WAGA's new weather guy, Ryan Beesley (picking up where Adam Klotz left off).

Tammie is starting tomorrow and bringing a blizzard with her. Such timing lol

#FunFact: Bob Breck's retirement as WVUE-TV Chief Meteorologist came almost a full 38 years to the day his predecessor, the late Nash Roberts, gave his final forecast on Newscene 8.
