Georgie56 3324 Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Jeff Hoover just announced that there's another Morning News primetime special coming in December. Please let it be a holiday special. I made a mistake. It’s in November. 2
24994J 5621 Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 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.

24994J 5621 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 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. https://www.robertfeder.com/2018/10/09/shes-back-jennifer-lyons-returns-wgn-news-director/
Spring Rubber 715 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Well, that's certainly a surprise. Didn't see that one coming.
Georgie56 3324 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I guess the cancellation of the Sinclair sale was a factor? 1
24994J 5621 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I guess the cancellation of the Sinclair sale was a factor? They'll never admit it, but I can't imagine that it wasn't a factor. 4
MorningNews 1489 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Does Courtney Hall ad-lib? Every time I see her on the morning news she is somehow stumbling over every other word or emphasizing the wrong words. Goodness 2
Spring Rubber 715 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 The entire midday crew is out today. Patrick Elwood and Amy Rutledge are anchoring with Morgan doing weather. Weird seeing an entire crew being out on a perfectly standard weekday in October.

24994J 5621 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 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.
Spring Rubber 715 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 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. 1
alex979 119 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 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. 3
Georgie56 3324 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) I think this is relevant because WGN broadcasts it. The McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. https://www.chicagothanksgivingparade.com/ Edited October 31, 2018 by Guest 1
ColDayNews 438 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 I think this is relevant because WGN broadcasts it. The McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. https://www.chicagothanksgivingparade.com/ At this point the parade is the only Chicago program that still airs on WGN America. 1
Jase 1065 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) I think this is relevant because WGN broadcasts it. The McDonald’s Thanksgiving Parade is now the Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. https://www.chicagothanksgivingparade.com/ 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. Edited October 31, 2018 by Guest
24994J 5621 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Uncle Dan sounds like a new Mike Toomey or Jeff Hoover morning show character. 2
Georgie56 3324 Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 The next Morning News primetime special is set for Nov. 14 at 7pm. 4
24994J 5621 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 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. Edited November 15, 2018 by Guest 1
24994J 5621 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 "It's 8pm, do you know where your morning show anchors are?" Drinking, location varies. 2
Georgie56 3324 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 I bet Dean Richards must be having the best night of his life right now in that tank.
