Sanders, who turns 70 today, announced Friday that his last day on the Nexstar Media Group station will be February 28.

“It's been an amazing run, working in a place that has long held a magical connection with Chicago viewers,” he told colleagues in an email. “I'm proud to have been part of the indefinable mojo that has long made our three legendary call letters a cultural and informational touchstone for millions of Chicagoans.”
