CircleSeven 1944 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 He doesn't want to let go of that bottle. That's a damn shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Viewer 1 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Is it me or are there more tv personalities getting charged with DUI lately or has it been like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ib-td 1 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If this is handled like recent cases in FL, because he was in front of the camera, there will be no problems at the station. One would think the opposite would be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazynetjunkie 34 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 This will not hurt Walter's image at all. He's already made it to the top in Chicago. Chicago sees him as a well respected journalist and he'll still be making his appearances on various newscasts and programs every now and then. He'll still be teaching journalism students at Columbia College. He's earned his right to his bottle.. He's just gotta be a little more careful to wait a little longer before he gets behind the wheel after having some. Chicago is very forgiving to their local TV personalities. Heck, everyone's already forgotten about ABC 7's morning anchor Hosea Sanders going into rehab for substance abuse back in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my dad still harasses him for that every time there's a promo for the morning news, so that's not completely true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
