ABC Radio announced today an extension of their ABC News affiliation agreement with Tribune/WGN Radio to include an expansion of shared editorial resources in the Chicago market. In conjunction with this announcement, WGN Radio’s Ryan Burrow will be a contributor to ABC News Radio and report from Chicago and around the country.

A native of Chicago, Burrow received his undergraduate degree at Valparaiso University in 2002 and his master’s in Journalism from DePaul University in 2013.
