The WGN morning crew is directed to be utterly less stiff and
spontaneous than the folks at the major outlets. In fact, the total
WGN-TV news crew is something less than stiff. The 5 PM newscast does
most of the show from the newsroom with roaming handheld cameras (I
don't know how the prompters are mounted). Forget wearing jeans to sit
behind a desk with them.
Also, do a Google or Youtube search for weekend anchors Bob
Jordan/Jackie Bange. They have a 2 minute long school yard dance which
would make any school girl giggle. They repeated it on the last Jerry
Lewis Telethon when someone called in asking for it. Great stuff...
