WLS-TV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia WLS, like the other ABC owned-and-operated stations, adopted the Eyewitness News format in the late 1960s after it became a hit at flagship WABC-TV in New York. Other changes that contributed to WLS-TV's success were the re-hiring of anchorman John Drury, who had previously worked at WLS, WBBM and WGN-TV and the hiring of Floyd Kalber, who had led WMAQ-TV to the top of the ratings in the 1960s. Drury and Mary Ann Childers were a popular anchor team at WLS during the 1980s and 1990s, accompanied by weatherman Steve Deshler and sportscaster Tim Weigel. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/WLS-TV   (854 words)

TV Broadcasting History - Various Articles In 1974, WLS -TV moved its transmitter from the Marina City towers to the Sears Tower.

A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond WLS is actually a relatively recent occupant of 190 State Street, a building with a broadcast history that's much more closely tied to TV, beginning with the early efforts of the Balaban and Katz theater chain. It was from that facility that the legendary Musicradio WLS emanated, and it was from that facility that WLS became one of the last big AMs to drop music for talk in the summer of 1989. Jay Marvin was on the air when we stopped by, and he showed off one of the niftiest features of the talk studio: instead of provoking an argument about whether the studio would be used in sit-down or stand-up mode, the engineers who built the studio put the entire desk on a hydraulic riser. www.fybush.com /sites/2004/site-041001.html   (1000 words)

CBS Stations Gain Ground - 12/9/2002 - Broadcasting & Cable - CA264197 It probably says as much about the dominance of WLS-TV Chicago news as it does about WMAQ-TV that WMAQ-TV's first November-sweeps late-news victory in years was as big a news story in the city as it was at the NBC-owned station itself. Chicago's local newspapers, which closely watch the dynamic local TV news scene, were heralding the sweeps-crown switch even before the end of the sweeps period. But WJXT, clearly not your typical TV station, says the numbers are on target. broadcastingcable.com /article/CA264197.html?display=Top+of+the+Week   (1326 words)

Chicago Reader: Hot Type Deeb still has a semblance of a career in Buffalo, hosting a cable TV show and a 7 AM Sunday radio show as the "voice of Living Prime Time," an organization whose purpose seems to be helping baby boomers deal with old age. And as the years went by, the on-air time WLS allowed its old nemesis steadily diminished to the point where he all but disappeared.
