There seems to be no dedicated WGN News thread. Here's where u can post anything about WGN TV News. Hosts, segments, folly's, bloopers, whatever.


Anyway, seemed weird that tonight the main hosts (Donlon and Micah Materre) tag-teamed the sports segment.

No Dan Roan or Dave Ennett or that hot blonde chick. I wonder if any of them have the virus or some shit. Or theyre not being allowed to come to work.

Seems fucked up to me. And they deleivered a lot of sports news too. It wasnt one or two rinky-dink items.

Skilling has been absent it seems the last week and maybe two.

D. Ivory has been the guy.

Is he on vacation or did he test positive? Is he just staying away as a precaution due to his age?

Also, Dan Roan doing sports from his house or some shit.

well just found the answer:

He's been out 6 weeks for surgery. Coming back Monday.

Monday marks the return of superstar meteorologist Tom Skilling to Nexstar Media Group WGN-Channel 9 six weeks after he underwent gastric bypass surgery to lose weight. But like most of his colleagues, he’ll be delivering his forecasts from home for the time being. “I couldn’t help but think undertaking originating weather shows at home when I started in the business 50 years ago would have been next to impossible,” Skilling wrote on Facebook. “Not so today — every piece of meteorological data, all model runs and today’s array of incredible satellite imagery and Doppler data can be accessed today anywhere!! We’ll be microwaving the home weather shows from the balcony of my building to the Hancock Building from which they’ll be relayed to the WGN studios to our viewers. The technology which makes all this possible boggles my mind!”

WTF happened to Tom? I wonder if he started eating his feelings when his brother went to jail.

Is Roseanne Tellez still on?

I hear that industry is a dead-end.

So it looks like Tahman Bradley has replaced Donlon.

Not sure if it's just a band-aid and theyre still lookin for someone permanent, or if Tahman is the guy.

Their morning show has gotten so campy and unfunny, I'm almost hoping for mass firings.

Jason Benetti would fit right in

Jeff Hoover and Mike Toomey both suck. As does Ana Belaval and her Caller Bob of a sidekick on remotes. When I do watch, I only watch until about 6:30 before they start their bullshit. I get that they are going for Eric Ferguson meets Bob Collins on the tarmac, but enough.

I do like the B team, however.

Ana Belaval looks like she would be a fun time.

I find Mike Toomey's bits amusing. Hoover is a little played out. You can still tune in at the top and bottom of every hours for the top stories, but what else are you gonna do to fill the other 20 minutes every hour? Might as well try to have some fun.

you know who still working from home....? morgan. she was doing the weather for saturday morning and her remote feed broke up. why isnt she back in studio?

I saw her this weekend too, from her house.

Forgot about her. She is good pussy.

For some reason when they said her name I thought it would be a dude.

_________________

She was pulling a double on both Saturday and Sunday - morning and evening shows as they are still short handed from the other guy dying.

Supposedly she starts in studio later this week. Hopefully she will kick Tomasulo in the nuts as she's leaving the set at 6am, that would better than letting him talk.
