If you look at the totality of the coverage from every station and the information provided, WMAQ did the best job imo. Let's not forget that Brant, Andy and Pete have a ton of experience under their belts and Cheryl and Alicia both did a commendable job in their respective roles. Overall, I think all stations, even WFLD, did a good job at handling things. While I am sure you can nitpick a few things (WFLD- Bill deferring to Mark as to where certain towns are in relation to others in the storms' path, etc...) , nothing major really sticks out from what I saw.

Sorry, but the edge goes to WMAQ on this one. No other station had their ENTIRE weather team present covering this storm both on tv and social media and thus providing the best up-to-the-minute coverage throughout.

I wouldn't call the new music bland, it just lacks the traditional 'Chicago' or Midwestern sound to it (if that makes sense). This package sounds like something you would hear either on the West or East coast (a New York kind of sound really). In comparison to other stations in the market, it's a little too soft and lacks any authority. Less horns and more drums and trumpets is the way to go.

I don't believe this one has been listed. Definitely one of the worse (especially for a station from Market #3) . WFLD
