Back in Chi-Town
Well, this is interesting….
It appears that NBC’s WMAQ is trying to make some noise in the Windy City on New Year’s Eve.
The NBC O&O announced that they will be using both Janet Davies and Mark Giangreco on their New Year’s Eve coverage.
Both Davies and Giangreco rang in the New Year together for two decades on WLS before they were ousted from the ABC-owned station.
“We’re thrilled to bring this very Chicago ensemble together to start the New Year and provide viewers with an expanded show this year,” said Kevin Cross, president of NBC Universal Local Chicago.
Robert Feder reports that while the countdown to midnight will be live, segments featuring Davies and Giangreco will be taped.
Giangreco was fired from WLS back in March for a comment he made on-air.
In February, Davies was cut after 37 years as the entertainment Reporter at the station.
