This is Journalism
WBBM is the dog of the Chicago market.
Most often the CBS O&O finishes dead last in the ratings and it has been a place of massive turnover for years.
But, it doesn’t mean that the station is still not doing some good Journalism and telling stories with an impact.
WBBM did a documentary of police raiding the wrong house, not once, or twice but over 50 times.
The doc got the Rev Jesse Jackson to stand up and take notice.
It shows that when you give Reporters the time and let them actually research a story, they can produce compelling content.
