First Looks!

Remember the first rule of Plover Club: You do not lose it if a picture has less than 4 chicks in it. 😉

50 years. 30,000 hot dogs. One miracle. Meet Brant Lidman. Along with his wife Sandy, Brant has become a familiar face to countless Chicagoans from behind the counter at Byron’s Hot Dogs, and he’s the subject of The Go-To’s inaugural story.

Don’t believe this guy!! Stay away from Chicago! I love making dinner plans at the last minute and getting a table at a great restaurant. I love walking up to the clubhouse and playing 9 holes on the lakefront. I love not waiting in line to see our world-class museums. I love

NEW: The calls from Alligator Alcatraz’s first detainees brought distressing news: Toilets that didn’t flush. Temperatures went from freezing to sweltering. A hospitalization. And little or no access to showers, much less confidential calls w/ attorneys.

There’s a lot more to say and more that I’m proud of, but I’ll just say this: WBBM’s digital team didn’t deserve to go out like this. The team did good work despite corporate leaders who, IMO, clearly don’t never understood digital media.

Another sad day for local journalism.

[Mike Tish @MikeTish4]

Remember Chonkosaurus? The guys from Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t found this massive snapping turtle on the Chicago River, and WBBM had a story on their finding days before anyone else. It ended up being one of our highest performing stories of the year. https://t.co/odMVUqGlmq

We did some really cool coverage of the James Beard Awards, which culminated in an awesome opportunity to get on the red carpet, where I shot this video of Beard nominees/hosts shouting out their favorite Chicago restaurants. https://t.co/Z96aiPFOvX

Heard from my old colleagues at @WBBMNewsradio that Audacy laid off its entire digital workforce across the country today and will automate at least part of its overnight broadcast. Thinking of them and the entire newsroom.

I left WBBM at the end of the year. Can’t say I saw this coming, but after layoffs hit newsroom last April, the short version is I just didn’t see enough reasons to stay. That said I am so fucking proud of the work that our small, scrappy team pushed out ⤵️

An eye for coaching talent is one of the non-negotiables to be a successful head coach. If you can't identify the right people for your staff, whatever strengths you do have matter much less.

George “Papa Bear” Halas — the founder of the Chicago Bears and a co-founder of what became the NFL — spoke at length to WBBM Newsradio 44 years ago. @JoshLissSports pulled from the archives how luck kept Halas away from the infamous Eastland Disaster. https://t.co/fWpi5j8cCB
