Posted November 01, 2019 1:00 am
As "Windy City Live" marks its 2,000th episode on WLS-Channel 7 today, there's a new boss in charge of the ABC-owned station's weekday talk and entertainment show, Robert Feder writes.
Hank Mendheim, who's been a senior producer on the show since its launch in 2011, was named executive producer Thursday. He also appeared regularly as the show's resident pop-culture guru "Frankly Hank" - a role he now relinquishes.
Mendheim succeeds Matt Knutson, who was promoted in August to director of content innovation at ABC 7.
