Chicago - A message from the station manager

The [Tuesday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

So to follow up on Monday’s post: It turns out former WLS-TV anchor Linda Yu is an investor in the group that bought the Sun-Times last summer.
So that’s at least one woman.

Yu is also the host of a new video food series for the Sun-Times that starts Saturday.
So Yu is both owner and worker – an arrangement that could be described as, um, awkward.
But maybe not as awkward as the wife of the CEO also being employed by the company.

Only tangentially related, if that . . .
“Retired WLS-Ch. 7 news anchor Linda Yu on Wednesday sold her four-bedroom, 3,800-square-foot town home on the Near North Side for $1.215 million,” the Tribune reported last June.
“Yu, 70, Chicago’s first Asian-American TV anchor, retired from ABC7 in November after more than three decades on the air in Chicago.
“Now, Yu has sold her longtime, contemporary-style town home, which she bought in 1984 for $488,000. Yu first listed the town home in August 2015 for $1.475 million. She reduced her asking price to $1.399 million last October and then cut her asking price again to $1.299 million in February.”
