'Twenty-five years ago, Fox 32 News debuted at 7 and 11pm, entering a crowded local news field that included four well-established and successful competitors. “As a new organization, we can take a different direction and set new standards for news reporting,” declared WFLD-Channel 32’s news director, Greg Caputo, who promised an “interesting, informative and smart approach.”

Given the current state of the station, there really isn't much for them to celebrate. However, they did (no doubt with Bob's help/guidance), aired a three (3) minute piece on how FOX Chicago News got it's start last night (8/23/12). What they aired (on lack thereof) on the actual anniversary date earlier this month was shameful.

 

Nevertheless, It's really sad to see were they are now and the countless missed opportunities that would have likely made them more competitive with WGN and a solid news alternative in the market.

 

Also, next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the launch of the morning newscast(s) [Good Day Chicago, FOX Thing in the morning, FOX News in the Morning/FOX News Chicago @ 5/6AM].
