Longtime WGN-TV and WGN Radio sports editor Jack Rosenberg died earlier this week at age 94.
Rosenberg, who was a force behind WGN’s sports programming, is credited with helping form the modern sports broadcast. He started working at WGN in 1954.
“Jack was sports editor at WGN for 40 years, a career encompassing all Chicago sports teams and thousands of broadcasts,” former WGN director of production Bob Vorwald tweeted. “The sound of his typewriter softly clicking behind Jack Brickhouse was the soundtrack of summer for generations of Cubs fans.”
