The Blackhawks coverage on 9 is using the same theme and color scheme for their graphics. The navy and gray is going to look so weird, but the theme fits beautifully, as it's most similar to the old hockey theme.

 

*Correction: the blue is changed to black on the scoreboard, while the blue remains everywhere else.

It took her leaving for Jennifer Lyons to realize that she wasn't ready to exit the business. She's returning as ND before her office chair got cold.

Steve has been off since last week, Demetrius is working the late shift for Tom, and I guess Dina is probably just off, as well. Odd coincidence, but I doubt there's anything going on. Both Patrick and Amy were the backups for Steve last week. It's nice to see Elwood getting some more desk time.

Demetrius always did the 4-6am and 11am-1pm newscasts from 2015-2017, right?

 

That's gotta be an annoying shift. He probably had to come to work at 2am or earlier and didn't get to leave until after 1pm...all for just 4 total hours of airtime.

Larry is hosting a new weekend show on WGN, “Backstory,” which will delve into Chicago-related historical, cultural, and religious topics. It premieres Sunday, October 28th and runs for the subsequent 4 weeks, and new episodes will be produced periodically throughout the year. Good to see more original local programming on GN.

I think this is relevant because WGN broadcasts it. The McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

At this point the parade is the only Chicago program that still airs on WGN America.

Nothing against Uncle Dan’s, but I’m surprised they (CFA) couldn’t track down a bigger title sponsor. This new name sounds weird. I would have just went back to the ‘State Street Thanksgiving Day..’ one or went with the full name..Uncle Dan’s Outfitters.

The next Morning News primetime special is set for Nov. 14 at 7pm.

Based on the first 5 minutes, if you ever wanted to see Paul Konrad shirtless in a bubble bath and Tom Skilling's chest hair in a bath robe, y'all are in luck.

I tuned in late at 7:15 (live stream). It feels so weird watching them at night.
