<\/a> Richard Roeper<\/p><\/div>\n

Veteran Chicago journalist Richard Roeper has signed off after two years as a co-host and featured contributor to \u201cGood Day Chicago,\u201d the weekday morning news show on Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32.<\/a><\/p>\n

Roeper and Fox 32 news director Matt Piacente met with staffers after Wednesday\u2019s show to inform them that it was Roeper\u2019s last day at the station.<\/p>\n

\"I've had a lot of fun the past couple of years, but I'm looking forward to having more flexibility in my work schedule to pursue other projects, in Chicago and in Las Vegas and Los Angeles,\u201d Roeper said.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s the latest familiar figure to leave \u201cGood Day Chicago\u201d in recent weeks. Morning news anchor Darlene Hill, whose contract expired at the end of September, has been missing in action<\/a> since then. Earlier, morning news anchor Corey McPherrin shifted <\/a>to Fox 32\u2019s 5 and 9 p.m. weekday newscasts.<\/p>\n

This was a second run at Fox 32 for Roeper, who won two Chicago Emmy Awards during seven years as a commentator on \u201cFox Thing in the Morning\u201d and co-host of \u201cThe Media Creatures,\u201d a weekly segment with Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Kogan.<\/p>\n

Roeper continues as film critic for the Sun-Times, where he has been a mainstay for three decades. He also continues as a contributor to Roe Conn\u2019s afternoon show on Tribune Broadcasting news\/talk WGN AM 720.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
