<title>WLS Anchor Kathy Brock Takes Christmas Morning Shift For Colleague With Young Children</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-33965" title="kathy brock" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/files/2011/12/kathy-brock.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="159" />The Christmas spirit was strong this weekend in Chicago, where <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/wls/index" target="_blank">WLS</a> evening anchor <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kathy-Brock-profile.html">Kathy Brock</a></strong> volunteered to fill in on the Christmas morning newscast for <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ben-Bradley-profile.html">Ben Bradley</a></strong>, who has small children.</p>
<p>&#8220;She didn&#8217;t just volunteer,&#8221; Bradley <a href="http://timeoutchicago.com/arts-culture/chicago-media-blog/15065289/brock-brightens-christmas-for-abc-7-colleague" target="_blank">told</a> Time Out Chicago&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Robert-Feder-profile.html">Robert Feder</a></strong>. &#8220;She <em>insisted</em> that she work because she said her kids are in college and will still be asleep by the time the show is over, and mine are so young and still believe in Santa. Now so do I!&#8221;</p>
<p>Brock anchored the WLS morning newscast solo on Sunday. Bradley&#8217;s co-anchor, <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Stacey-Baca-profile.html">Stacey Baca</a></strong>, had previously scheduled the day off.</p>
<p>&#8220;I remember when my boys (now young men) were little, and how special Christmas morning is,&#8221; Brock <a href="http://timeoutchicago.com/arts-culture/chicago-media-blog/15065289/brock-brightens-christmas-for-abc-7-colleague" target="_blank">said</a>.</p>

<title>WTXF Celebrates Supportive Viewers as Disabled Boy Receives New Wheelchair Following Story</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-30959" title="WTXF_NewWheelchair" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/files/2011/12/WTXF_NewWheelchair.jpg" alt="" width="226" height="178" />In a story that seems ready-made for the holiday season, a <a href="http://www.myfoxphilly.com/" target="_blank">WTXF</a> news crew was there on Wednesday as a 10-year-old disabled boy received a new wheelchair to replace the one that was stolen from him last weekend.</p>
<p>After WTXF <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wtxf-viewers-replace-boys-stolen-wheelchair_b30759" target="_blank">reported</a> on Dominic Pico&#8217;s stolen wheelchair Monday, the Fox O&amp;O received a flood of calls and emails from concerned viewers wanting to help the boy, who suffers from a rare genetic disorder.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mix good-hearted people with the power of television and the Internet, and the result is a brand new wheelchair for a little boy who desperately needed it,&#8221; the station said.  Video inside&#8230; <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wtxf-celebrates-supportive-viewers-as-disabled-boy-receives-new-wheelchair-following-story_b30958#more-30958" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>
