Lou Canellis, top sports anchor at Fox32 in C
Starting this week, Canellis joins Roe & Roeper for a
full hour of sports talk at 5pm Monday through Friday on the Cumulus Media news/talk
station.
In announcing the change to his listeners Friday, Conn called the new
feature “a mix of sports and entertainment — a different way of looking at the
world.” The show’s signature Top 5 at 5 feature, a rundown of the day’s top
five news stories, will move to 5:36pm and become “sports themed.”
“Driven by the explosion of sports stories and by the
appetite our listeners have for them, we are excited to launch the 89 WLS
Sports Pregame Show on Monday at 5pm,” Tracy Slutzkin, program director of WLS,
said in a statement.
“It’s a natural expansion of our brand of timely, exciting,
talk about the biggest stories on 89 WLS. We are thrilled to have Fox 32’s Lou
Canellis join Roe and Roeper every day.”
Robert Feder at timeoutchicago, com notes Canellis, a native
of south suburban Oak Lawn , first gained
widespread notice in the '90s as part of the Bulls broadcast team, delivering
memorable courtside interviews with Michael Jordan. He also has worked for a
variety of local broadcast outlets and served as a regular contributor to 190
North, the weekly magazine show on ABC 7. He was promoted to main sports anchor
at Fox 32 in 2010.
Wish old format was back. Listen To WGN with Gerry Mier now at 5pm. More intertaining than another lame sports show.
