While at the Chicago Columbus Day Parade today, I was surprised when I saw that Sun-Times Media chief Michael Ferro was the grand marshal. Having shared my thoughts about him being there (I’m sure much to the delight of my wife), I was pleased to see this tidbit by Jim Romenesko after I got home.
Meanwhile, here’s a photo of the WLS-TV/ABC 7 float. Even with the sub-par cell phone photo, you might be able to ABC 7 anchors Ron Magers, Alan Krashesky and Kathy Brock.
Nearby in a separate ABC 7 make-shift studio was Mark Giangreco and Janet Davis, while Mike Kaplan was at street side talking to various people on and off camera.
