Born in the nation’s capital and son of a World War II veteran, a young Mike Flannery arrived in Chicago in the 1970s.
On Friday, we said good luck and congratulations to Mike Flannery on his retirement! FOX 32 will never be the same.
Born in the nation’s capital and son of a World War II veteran, a young Flannery arrived in Chicago in the 1970s. He was first hired by the Chicago Sun-Times covering City Hall. Chicago’s CBS2 News was his next employer and like many rookie reporters, there were a few rough spots along the way. But once Flannery learned his voice, a political beast was born.
"As I’ve said frequently about you, you remember things from 50 years ago than I remember from 50 minutes ago," said ABC7 reporter Craig Wall.Signing on to FOX 32 in 2010, Flannery’s first day on the job included covering the corruption trial of former Governor Rod Blagojevich. "We’ve learned so much from you. I appreciate your leadership and everything you’ve done for FOX 32 and Chicago. Congrats and all the best," said Matt Piacente, WFLD FOX 32 Vice President of News.
"I love Flannery Fired Up and I was hoping before you left I'd get to host it one day," FOX 32 anchor and reporter Tia Ewing said. Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said, "Thank you Mike. We didn’t always agree but you were always a professional."
