Middlebrooks Re-Signs with WBBM

November 28 2006 111 views No Comment

Five years after she enlisted the support of Rev. Jesse Jackson to assist with her contract negotiations, WBBM-AM’s morning newsreader Felicia Middlebrooks has renewed her contract with the CBS-owned all-news station. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Who can forget Middlebrooks’ faux pas a few year ago when she mistakenly identified the University of Illinois at Chicago’s mascot as the Illini, which is actually the mascot of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana’s mascot. UIC’s mascot is the Flames.
