It appears that the female TV sportscasting ranks got a bit smaller in Chicago this week.

Robert Feder reports that WGN has parted ways with Lauren Magiera (pictured) after 6 years at the Nexstar station.

Word is that WGN did not renew her contract.

Over at The Firm’s WFLD, Kaitlin Sharkey worked her last day on Sunday.

She did not say where she is headed next.
