Mike Adamle, sports anchor at NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5, has withdrawn from J2 Strategic Communications, the Chicago-based media training company headed by television news veterans Joan Esposito and Jim Lichtenstein.
Citing other commitments -- including his new role with World Wrestling Entertainment -- Adamle pulled out just one day after J2SC had announced his hiring along with eight others as part of a major expansion.
Channel 5 officials said they had no role in Adamle's decision to withdraw.
"It was great to have Mike with us for all 24 hours!" Lichtenstein joked. He added that the departure would have no effect on the company.
