NBC 5 Chicago 164 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Surprised no one has posted this.

Wonder who will do 430 then with Marion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link 3 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Good! I've been waiting for him to retire for years. I'd rather have Bob Sirott as the top anchor. Maybe Dick Johnson will do the 4:30pm newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagosNewsChannel 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I would like to see someone other than Bob....idk I just never had a liking for him. Maybe they can do something along the line of WLS where they have different people but have Bob and Allison at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how ABC 7 uses different anchors for each newscast. Who wants to see the same ones at 5, 6, and 10?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctmajka 108 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I dunno. I'd be MORE than happy to see Bob on the 4:30, 5, 6, & 10pm. ;^D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

former newsboy 50 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 What job did Warner do at WMAQ when Ron Magers and Carol Marin were the main evening anchors?? Immediately prior to his ascent to the top job at NBC5, Warner was co-anchor of the 5pm news with Joan Esposito. Mark Suppelsa & Allison Rosati were doing the 4:30, and Ron & Carol at 6 & 10. Those were the days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she end up leaving or retiring...wonder why she didn't get the top anchor spot with Warner after Carol left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she end up leaving or retiring...wonder why she didn't get the top anchor spot with Warner after Carol left. Yes, she did work at Channel 5, I didn't remember her on 7. I don't think I was born at that time or I was a toddler to remember. She was featured at a local furniture store commercial during April Fool's Day last year which included the Smithe Brothers stating that they were going to changed it's name from Wrigley Field. Then on April 1st, they aired and April Fools joke, and noting that they were in support of the Cubs and all. Esposito was playing a news anchor for those commercials.
