Carol Fowler, WFLD News Director/Vice President and former WBBM News Director, has brought yet another ex-WBBM employee on board to Fox Chicago. The latest hire is Todd Woolman, who takes over as Executive Producer for "Good Day Chicago," effective immediately.

Todd Woolman was previously the Assistant News Director under Fowler at WBBM-TV. He was in that position for seven years before being one of the many staff members cut from the station last April. Before joining WBBM-TV, he spent two years at WLS-TV as an Executive Producer, and also worked for the news staff at WGN-TV. Additionally, Woolman has been at stations in West Palm Beach, LA, Seattle, Detroit, South Bend, and Kalamazoo. Since being laid off from WBBM, Woolman was a research analyst for the TBS/Ellen Degeneres program, "Ellen's Bigger Longer and Wider Show."

Woolman replaces Melinda Tichelaar, who was pushed out as EP of "Good Day Chicago" last week, and moved to being a Web Producer and Line Producer.
