Longtime WGN-TV sports editor Jack Rosenberg has died

For many years, you’d hear Jack Brickhouse thank “sports editor Jack Rosenberg” for all his help on Cubs baseball broadcasts on WGN-TV.

Jack Rosenberg, who was born May 21, 1926 in Peoria, passed away Monday, aged 94.

Rather than try to tell you the story of one of the great men of Chicago television history myself, I’m going to let longtime WGN-TV producer and executive Bob Vorwald tell “Rosey’s” story, with some incredible photos (some of which I ran in my tribute to WGN-TV’s 72 years of Cubs TV in September 2019):

RIP Jack Rosenberg.
