Signing Off in Chicago

Longtime WLS Anchor Kathy Brock is signing off at the end of next month after 28 years at the station. 

Brock has been anchoring the 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts at the ABC O&O and says that June 27th will be her last day. 

"WLS represents the best of local television news. I firmly believe there is no equal and recognize what a gift it has been to be part of this team. There is poetry for me in closing out this career sharing the 6 and 10 p.m. desk with my original partner, Alan Krashesky, who has also become a dear friend. The time just seems right for change; I want to explore other passions and see what life’s like off the night shift,” Brock said. 

The station has seen a lot of their top rated Anchors retire over the past few years, but it hasn't hurt them at all in the ratings. 

WLS is a ratings machine.
