WLS-Ch. 7 reporter Dan Ponce is leaving the city's top-rated TV news operation to pursue a music career with his a capella group, Straight No Chaser, the station said Tuesday.

A Channel 7 spokeswoman confirmed Ponce will sign off Jan. 16, encouraged by the success of Straight No Chaser's holiday CD. "We wish him well as Dan pusues his dream and his passion," the station said in a statement.
