Mark will be SO missed! Soon you won’t be able to look at anybody’s side idea that it would be an issue. This country/world is getting absolutely ridiculous! We are absolutely the best Mark and will be so missed!!
I will not be watching ABC news anymore. Nowadays people are too dam sensitive. Jim rose you made a great decision to get out of that marriage to her.
Im done with ABC!!
Cheryl Burton is so phony and full of herself. Her phony on air emotion is getting very old. No doubt Ginageco’s good friend and former colleague, Ron Magers didn’t care for her either. I remember very well, his final newscast. Everyone on the set came up to Rob to did him well. When Burton came up to him he had a puzzled and annoyed look on his face. Funny thing is dumb, dumb, Burton didn’t have the foresight to just deal with the comment. Giangreco is no doubt a very big reason that Ch. 7 ratings are as high as they are. No doubt that will change for the worse. Never really heard anyone say that they watch Ch. 7 to listen to the very phony Cheryl Burton. She’s probably a nice lady, just not a very smart one. Obviously the GM at the station was worried about some major backlash or lawsuit if Giangreco wasn’t removed. Well know he can watch the ratings plummet. Nice work!!
I keep hearing that she’s not smart yet she’s on TV making big money and the rest of us sit and watch her in her glory, so who’s the smart one? I personally think it’s just jealousy, people can’t stand to stand a minority doing better than them.
Thinking the bigger issue now is if ABC 7 is going to be sold soon.

I won’t be watching channel 7 anymore. Sorry Alan K., Really liked him.
I remember the old days; Linda,Ron, Jerry and Mark. Gone. Let me know when Cheryl quits or gets fired. Soon I hope.
You are so right! I’ve changed to WGN. Remember ABC 7 got rid of Ben Bradley? Too much change and some sub-par reporting will bring the ratings down.
Miss Mark Giangreco. Never did understand why they replaced classy, professional Kathy Brock with Bimbo Burton. Turned off the 5:00 news. Watch 4:00 and 6:00. Judy Hsu is good.
Kathy Brock retired.
SHE WAS TOO UGLY TO BE ON TELEVISION ANYMORE.
Stop Drinking
Go to bed Sue
Kathy Brock was. A NO TALENT WHORE. WHO SLEPT HER WAY ON AIR SO GLAD THEY GOT RID. OF HER.
Kathy had better class than Cheryl. In fact Diann Burns is still better than Cheryl, even Mary Ann Childers is better than Cheryl. Sad to say it to you but Burton is a no good, incompetent, workplace snitch. 2 years after this situation, she still needs to go!
My wife and I enjoyed Mark Giangreco immensely, so without him, we will not watch channel 7 ,5:00 news. Cheryl Burton is a “phony”, and I hope she gets replaced by the other “Cheryl”, ( Scott, )which will bring us back . Thanks for the opportunity to voice our opinions. Jack the barber , & Bev the nurse.
Who gives a shi.
Cheryl is looking old,sad and tired on tv. Makeup is not helping to hide her rapid aging on tv..
I thought the two anchors and Mark joked,laugh and made watching the news more plesant. I have enjoyed the way Mark would bring some excitement and fun when presenting his sport reports.
Cheryl Burton could have handle that incident much better.
ABC should rewind some of her comments made by her about co-anchors on air,sure they will find more than a few
I will be watching other TV channels for evening news
Tired of watching the phony Cheryl Burton!!
I’m sick of her old tired plastic face. Ridiculous to fire Mark over something that stupid. Sad.
THANK YOU!!!!, WELL SAID
Yes I agree with you she needs to go
You most likely are as Stupid as you sound
It took too long if cheryl burton was caucasian it would have happened sooner…..
If she were Caucasian, I’m sure you would love her
Cheryl Burton is not bright enough to understand humor. Our family doesn’t watch whenever she is on with her phony, unfunny side comments , she tries too hard to make everything about her instead of just reporting the news. (She lost us years ago during the Easter season when reported on Good Friday allying it the “crusification.”) She is bringing a once great news program down, it’s sad.
We are done with channel 7. Won’t be watching unless Cheryl Burton leaves. Mark Giangreco always made us laugh.
The only reason Cheryl Burton got the anchor job was Jessie Jackson. After Diane Burns negotiated herself out of her anchor position, Jessie Jackson publicly announced that Diane Burns MUST be replaced by an Africa America and Operation Push wouldn’t tolerate any other person.
I often don’t respond to comments here, so tell me this: why is it every time an African-American person gets a job in TV news is because of Operation PUSH? I guess to you, Black people don’t earn their merits. Plus, after Diann Burns left for CBS 2, she was replaced by Kathy Brock, a WHITE anchor. I’m not a Jesse Jackson fan either, but it’s interesting how you guys fall back on this same lame ass shit over and over again. Take your fucking racism elsewhere because it’s not welcome here. The only reason I’m publishing this is to show you what a fucking idiot you are.
THANK YOU!!!! WELL SAID
You a member of the Klan? Stop having Relations with the Family pet
He should have been Fired a long time ago. He should have Shut up & Gave the Sports. Not try to make it his own Comedy show. I am so glad he is gone. Hope he NEVER gets back in Chicago media
Unfortunately Burton signed up for the backlash. She should’ve been the bigger person and came to Mark about the comment. Kathy or Diann would have done the exact opposite of what Burton did. Surprisingly Burns defended Giangreco.
