*11/3 – Updated to include WMAQ’s win in the same category.
Wrong station it is false info. The best news is NBC and they win every news, weather, sports, and everything in between category.
As you see the information is NOT false. Univision Chicago did win. Perhaps your PR departments should take a lesson from Univision.

except for the ratings, where WLS beats WMAQ day in and day out
Very true which is why ABC7 and Univision are partners. WLS is a true market leader.
Watch out for the multiple emmy winning director at Univision, Stevan Petkovich,he is one of the rising stars in local television newscasts.
