WGN's Next News Director will be.... (Patreon)

Yesterday, FTVLive told you that WGN is this/close to naming a new News Director. 

We wrote, "No word yet on who’s getting the Windy City gig, but don’t be surprised if the new ND has connections to Seattle." 

Ok, so maybe we knew more than we were telling you. 

Nothing is official, but if we were betting on who gets the job, we would say that it will be Erica Hill. 

Not that Erica Hill, the other one. 

Hill has been the Tribune owned KCPQ in Seattle for just over 5 years and it looks like she is going to get a bump up in the company, to Tribune's flagship station in Chicago. 

We expect WGN will make the announcement sometime this week and since it is now on FTVLive (for our awesome Patrons that is) it might even come today. 

Of course, Tribune could go with someone else, but we are almost certain it will be Hill. 

Time will tell.
