Robservations on the media beat:<\/p>\n

Spanish-language news viewers will have an additional choice this fall when Telemundo Chicago WSNS-Channel 44<\/a> debuts a half-hour local newscast at 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Chris McDonnell,<\/strong> president and general manager of Telemundo Chicago, confirmed the September 26 launch date but said news anchors and other personnel have not yet been finalized. Noticiero Telemundo Chicago<\/em> now airs at 4:30, 5 and 10 p.m. Owned by NBCUniversal, Telemundo Chicago was one of 14 stations in the company to announce news expansions Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Ending a 10-year run on Cumulus Media news\/talk WLS AM 890,<\/a> Notre Dame football and men\u2019s basketball are returning to ESPN Radio sports\/talk WMVP AM 1000. <\/a>The multiyear deal, announced Tuesday, begins September 4 when The Fighting Irish kick off the 2016 football season against the Texas Longhorns. Notre Dame previously aired on ESPN 1000 from 1999 to 2005. The move away from WLS was expected after the station\u2019s recent addition of White Sox baseball and Bulls basketball, which would have resulted in conflicts. No one was sadder than sportscaster Chet Coppock,<\/strong> who tweeted: <\/a>\u201cThat's show biz. . . . My 10 year run as host of N.D. football is history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sure, Michael Ferro<\/strong> still may have designs on bringing the Sun-Times<\/a> into the tronc<\/a> fold, but that doesn\u2019t mean the paper\u2019s current chairman is waiting for that to happen. \u201cI see a future in which that\u2019s possible, yes. Do I think it\u2019s going to happen? No,\u201d Bruce Sagan<\/strong> told Justin Kaufmann<\/strong> in an interview <\/a>Monday on Tribune Media news\/talk WGN AM 720.<\/a> But if Gannett succeeds in its effort to acquire tronc, that probably would kill USA Today\u2019s content partnership with the Sun-Times, he conceded. \u201cI would be unhappy because the Gannett thing is very efficient on national and international news, where we no longer have bureaus all over the world,\u201d Sagan said. \u201cI\u2019d be sorry to lose it. But we would replace it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Beto<\/a>

Beto Carreto<\/p><\/div>\n

Newspapers colleagues around the country are paying tribute to Jack Fuller,<\/strong> former editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, <\/a>who died <\/a>Tuesday of lung cancer at 69. Fuller, who joined the Tribune as a 16-year-old copy boy and went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing, retired in 2004 as president of Tribune Publishing, where he oversaw the ill-fated $8 billion acquisition of the Los Angeles Times parent company. \u201cHe revered the unspoken contract this news organization has with its readers,\u201d columnist John Kass<\/strong> wrote<\/a> of his longtime friend and former boss. \u201cHe understood how much we owe our readers, our city, our state. And he knew how easily we could destroy that relationship if we forgot about principle and integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
