Bob Sirott remains the overall station voice because he does those little intros to introduce the hosts and remind us that WGN is the Cubs/Hawks station. Is that really good imaging? What happened to that guy who did all the really cutting edge production on WGN a few years ago? Isn't that exactly what they need now that they are talking about bringing Brandmeier to the station? At the time that guy's production seemed too adventurous for the shows on WGN, but if they hire Brandmeier, they should find that guy and bring him back. (I'm not sure who this guy even is.) I know they just hired another friend of Metheny's to handle imagining but nothing sounds different to me so far. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought it was an important part of the broadcast day. Bring back a blade with some edge!
