 WBBM-TV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WBBM was an inspiration (along with Philadelphia's WPVI-TV) for the fictional KBBL-TV from the cartoon television series The Simpsons.
Ironically, in the May 2005 sweeps ratings, WBBM's 10 PM newscast finished behind re-runs of The Simpsons on WFLD-TV for fourth place in the timeslot.
The most notable of many changes WBBM has made to its news operation occurred in 2000, when it revamped its 10 PM newscast by ditching the traditional news format in favor of in-depth "hard news" features, a staple of its glory days.

 WBBM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TV station WBBM-TV - Channel 2, CBS television station
WBBM is the callsign of three broadcast stations in Chicago, Illinois:
AM radio station WBBM (AM) - 780 kHz, all-news station

 January/February 2001
Unfortunately, no. After only nine months, the bold effort that had been hailed by TV critics and the public as a noble experiment was ripped untimely from the WBBM schedule and replaced on October 31 with a newscast that looks like most others on the country's commercial television stations.
Encouragingly, WBBM gained a ratings point -- a tantalizing hint that viewers were sampling the program and might be ready for a new kind of broadcast rather than the tried-and-true, formulaic, cookie-cutter news shows on the competing stations.
In a later program, WBBM opened with a piece on the Environmental Protection Agency's accord with a chemical manufacturer limiting use of a dangerous insecticide, while the competition was doing live reports on a brief neighborhood power failure.

 WBBM-TV, Chicago Papers Ink News Pact
To expand its local news coverage throughout the Chicago area, WBBM-TV, Viacom's owned-and-operated TV station, announced news partnerships with three suburban newspapers: The Naperville Sun, and The Post-Tribune, owned by Hollinger International, and The Northwest Herald, owned by Shaw Suburban Media Group.
WBBM also plans to establish a remote studio at each paper that can function as a news bureau for breaking news.
In the coming weeks, Baskerville’s answers will also run in The Post-Tribune and The Naperville Sun, where he’ll be joined by WBBM meteorologist, Mary Kay Kleist, a Naperville resident.

CBS says that if WBBM had realized that this was not a group which regularly smoked marihuana together, and that it had come together at this time and place only because of Missett's interest in  [*141]  filming such an event, it would not have broadcast the film.
Charges have been made that network newsmen made suggestions as to what clothing should be worn during filming, that automobiles be moved away from homes being photographed, that TV antennas were not shown, and that a local Negro policeman was offered $5 to say that Negroes were starving in Marks.
While in retrospect, a different course of action may seem to have been called for, I think that the management of WBBM was within its rights in presenting the first segment of film.

 Accounting Scam at WBBM-TV - 7/14/2003 - Broadcasting & Cable - CA310686
By Wednesday, the story had been covered locally by rival TV stations and by both the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune.
He asked the staff not to be disheartened by the event or by the publicity it was certain to generate in a city where local television is big news and most cab drivers can rattle off news directors and ratings points as if they were ballplayers and batting averages.

 Democratic Veteran :: Chicago PD - Oops
WBBM-TV "We're idiots! Film at 11!"
The Chicago TV station owned and operated by CBS, WBBM-TV, subsequently broadcast one of Ice Cube's videos when it reported the story Monday night.
The Chicago PD ought to be rightly ashamed of themselves for this little bit of stupidity, but the TV station "news" folks ought to be triply ashamed of themselves.
There's Television, Telephone and Telemundo...one thing don't Tell-a-Chicago TV station that your suspect looks like Ice Cube the rapper, especially if you're the Chicago PD. Mmmm, b-a-d move.

 A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
In 2002, the east tower was partially dismantled and replaced by a taller structure (at left above), rising to within inches of 1500' above street level, 372' above the roof, to accommodate a new antenna for WBBM-TV and WBBM-DT (Channel 3) and a new FM master antenna.
The combiner sits in a cage in the middle of the room; the window space is leased to TV broadcasters for fixed microwave links to various Chicago points of interest (we saw several dishes aimed at the United Center for WGN-TV Bulls broadcasts, for instance.)
Its two rooftop masts rose 328' above the top of the building, itself at 1127', and soon became home to many of Chicago's TV and FM broadcasters, seeking higher perches than their existing downtown rooftop locations.

The first hundred feet or so of each tower is actually an enclosed cylindrical structure about 15 feet across; I got to peer inside the east tower base from a doorway inside the 100th floor, from which you can see various transmission lines heading up to the sky.

No coincidence that the AM called "WXII" is in the same market as Channel 12 (WXII) TV -- Pulitzer recently converted the 830 KHz facility to be a little-sister station to its TV.
And it is good to know the next time you're stuck behind someone driving 15 miles an hour in the left lane on Golf Road with their turn signal on for the last six miles, chances are they're tuned to AM 780.
But there's something to be said for an audience that's dying to listen.

Doug Elwell, Inc. on the Channel 2 News (WBBM-TV Chicago)
Writing in a paler imitation of the profanely irreverent, freely associative "gonzo" journalism style pioneered by his obvious idol Hunter S. Thompson, Locke starts with the by-now-familiar idea that old-style mass-marketing "broadcast" advertising just won't work on the Web.
