<\/a> Jim Wiser<\/p><\/div>\n

After more than two years as executive producer of video programming at ChicagoTribune.com,<\/a>\u00a0Jim Wiser is back in play.<\/p>\n

His position was eliminated this week in a restructuring of the department, effective November 28. A Tribune spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment Friday.<\/p>\n

Wiser, 50, headed a staff of about a dozen young video journalists and editors who produced live webcasts and other digital content from the newsroom of the Chicago Tribune.<\/p>\n

One of Chicago\u2019s best known and most versatile producers, Wiser went digital in May 2012 after more than nine years at Tribune Media news\/talk WGN-AM (720), where he rose to executive producer of programming and oversaw morning shows hosted by\u00a0 Spike O\u2019Dell, John Williams and Greg Jarrett. For a decade before that, he was a producer at Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32, where he worked closely with Bob Sirott on \u201cFox Thing in the Morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

He first became prominent as intrepid producer Jimmy \u201cBud\u201d Wiser on Jonathon Brandmeier\u2019s former WLUP-FM (97.9) morning show from 1983 to 1992.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy resume is pretty diverse,\u201d Wiser said. \u201cWhatever comes next I\u2019ll be ready for \u2014 whether it\u2019s digital, television or radio.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
