Spring Rubber 703 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'm not sure when this move was made since I'm rarely in Chicago, but I noticed that they changed the name, and they still have a makeshift female voiceover for the opener that sounds like it was done in-house. I can't tell if it's Lourdes Duarte's voice, but I think it might be. Did they change the name because people tend to associate "Evening News" with the national network newscasts as opposed to the typical "News at Five" for local news?

trev57 46 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 It was mentioned in the No Emotion Box on November 15th, so I would assume around then.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hah, I forgot all about that box ever since it got moved to the bottom of the page. I didn't know people actually used it anymore.

24994J 5577 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 The VO is definitely not Lourdes...and yeah, I noticed it on the 15th, so I'd assume it was Monday the 14th. I don't know the reason, though, the station was very quiet about the transition...no mention that I saw.

Chicago News Boy 34 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The voice over actually kind of sounds like a robot!
