With Lou Canellis headed to Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32 as Sunday night Bears highlights host, a search is on to replace him as a regular contributor to Channel 7's "190 North."
Janet Davies, host and exec producer of the top-rated weekly magazine show, said Canellis will continue to be seen through the end of August (and on occasional reruns after that).
Davies is considering a short list of local names to succeed Canellis alongside "190 North" continuing contributors Doug Banks and Michelle Alegria.
"I am very happy for Lou, and sad for us," she added. "Lou has been such a jewel -- the hardest working man in showbiz."
