I Agree!! A smart ass like him should have forfeited his bond for his wrongdoings. This type of behavior was on his conscience ... not someone else's.
damn this brings back memories i wonder why news stations dont have a archives section on there site so u can go back to days in time and see what was goin on in the news
WMAQ is one of the few stations in Chicago to use more than one news packages. Battery (commishioned for CBS O&O KPIX in San Francisco) and Tower V.1,-V.3 (commishioned for them) are the other two.
"Now, live, from the Garden Apartment of the NBC Tower..." LOL

He says he skipped the court date last Friday because he was too drunk and too stoned, LOL!
What an dumb excuse!

That was the year I moved to DC from Chicago, I miss WMAQ's news, they had better anchors than the NBC affiliates here in DC, WRC, IMHO.

How is that "Ironic"?
Odd, yes. But I see no irony.

The announcer's voice, is that Danny Dark, the voice of Superman on the SuperFriends series?

I like this theme song too. I like Magers a lot too - he has a good rep for being a decent person in the city.

One of my all-time newscast in Chicago, and my favorite news themes in the country - Newswire (615 Music).
TexasTV 4 years ago
Yes Newswire is a great theme. Their Custom 1997 newstheme is a great one as well. Wonder if anyone has a open from that theme.
