Weigel Broadcasting Co. - WCIU TV
From 2010 - 2016, Chris worked in Chicago as a Features Reporter, Writer, Segment Producer, Field Producer and Host with WCIU-TV's morning show, You & Me.
Chris was a staple on the show each week bringing viewers sit down interviews, live shots around town, informative history segments, and fun man on the street games. Not to mention the crazy ‘Spitting Lady,’ who in 2012 interrupted one of Chris’s reports and made him a viral news blooper sensation.
Needless to say, Chris had a ball in the Windy City and here are just a few of his segments.
