Former WBEZ program director kicks off Chicago Newsroom on pubaccess channel

Chicago Newsroom, a new weekly roundtable featuring a panel of local journalists and newsmakers, premieres Thursday (Sept. 9) on Chicago Access Network Television -- in the wake of longtime Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's Tuesday (Sept. 7) announcement that he will not seek reelection. Heading up the new show is Ken Davis, former talk show host and program director of Chicago Public Media WBEZ-FM (91.5), who also spent seven years as director of the city’s Municipal Television system. Chicago Newsroom will also stream live here.
