I'm sure the expenses the Chicago stations incurred for the RNC in Milwaukee weren't as big as it's just up the road. Likewise I'm sure the expenses incurred by the Milwaukee TV stations won't be as big if they send people to the DNC in Chicago. Again it's just down the road.

Well folks on Monday the 2024 DNC at the United Center kicks off. Feel free to post how stations are covering it through the duration in the replays. Fingers crossed that all hell doesn't break lose

Good Morning, I'm not sure if you've noticed this but it seems like WFLD and WBBM hold on to no one. While WGN,WLS, and to a lesser extent WMAQ do a better job at holding onto there talent. Would you all say this is true? If so what are some of the reasons why WFLD and WBBM don't hold onto there people? Thanks.

And Marybelle Gonzalez is out

Good morning, I have noticed that sometimes you see regular vehicles with permits in the windshield that say, "Chicago TV news Parking Permit," what purpose does it serve? Thanks.

Per Dave Savini's Facebook page, he will be Anchoring Saturday's starting this fall.

Tommorow is her last day

So NBC and the BBC would send there own crews?

Good evening, For the Olympics, does the ICO provide camera and crews for the events and the networks broadcasting just feed off of them? Thanks.

When it comes to so called one man banding, I would be correct to assume that union rules/contracts play a role in how often if ever it's used?

His wife Jessica is a reporter at ABC7

An example would be during Sandy when some of the ABC O&Os helped out WABC and WPVI.

The one at WLS is retractable IIRC

How often would you say that the network and/or a sister station helps out? Would a disaster be an example? Thanks.

All it takes is some one saying Beavis and Butthead type stuff for those to go away.

Per Diane's Instagram page, she is now the permanent traffic reporter

Would this be an example of a pointless live shot? Read the description bellow and you'll see what I mean. Also a live shot in an alley? Defiantly NOT the safest place to do one in my opinion.

How come some stations use marked and some use unmarked vehicles? Does safety play an issue with that? Thanks

I'm going to guess that the station handles the airline and hotel reservations?

Unless a sporting event or award show spills over into the 10:00 news cast.

What about pro sports or NCAA Division I football or basketball championships?

Good afternoon, How do TV stations handle things when a reporter goes out of town for an assignment? For example when NBC stations send there people to cover the Olympics. Thanks.

Mark also occasionally filled in during Bulls telecasts.

For sports, why not tap Silvey or Carm? Then again Silvey is too winney so..........
