Bob Sirott out at NBC 5 over contract, money negotiations

Respected veteran Chicago broadcaster Bob Sirott is out at NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5. WMAQ honcho Larry Wert informed the station's staff this morning of Sirott's exit.

Sirott was expected to be a 10 p.m. news anchor alongside Allison Rosati, but negotiations apparently hit a snag over a clause in Sirott's contract that promised him a boost in salary along with his increased responsibilities
