The gang over at WGN Morning News tried calling Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley live on the air. They wanted to ask about what was going to happen to them and their show?

Smartly, the Anchors did not use their real names and through their co-workers under the bus.

Smart group.... 

Also, pay attention to Anchor Robin Baumgarten as they start leaving a message. I get the feeling that Robin wanted to stay as far away from this prank as possible.
