I thought 26 The U had a partnership many years ago with ABC 7 to produce & broadcast a prime time newscast at 7P Monday-Friday. I'm not so sure that WCIU will be doing a weeknight newscast again anytime soon.
Not that long ago either, WCIU and Block Club Chicago had a weekly newsmagazine called "On The Block Powered by Block Club Chicago" hosted by Brandon Pope. The show ceased production in early 2025.
All that being said, I'm not sure U'z getting back into the local news business in the wake of WGN 9/Nexstar layoffs.
