When you think of Chicago media, Bruce Wolf is in the top celebrity ranks and grabs an audience with stories about sports legends and TV stars bringing a motivational message which relates to everyone. His presentation is clean and “safe” for all audiences from corporate to social groups.Keynote – Emcee – Personal Appearance – Auctioneer – EntertainerCorporate Events – Meetings – Charity – Non Profit Groups - SocialBruce Wolf is a veteran Chicago sports anchor who has been on both TV and radio for more than 20 years. He claims to have started his career in the 1940s working as a sound effects man on the radio who made the sound of Jack Benny’s trouser legs rubbing against each other as Mr. Benny sashayed across the stage. But this claim is somewhat doubtful. Also questionable is Mr. Wolf’s claim that he moved to the Soviet Union in the 1950s but was blacklisted because he was a member of the Republican Party. More likely is his claim that he first started working full-time for the Lerner Newspaper from 1972 to 1981. He then joined WXRT radio in 1979 where he did morning sportscasts. In 1982 he joined WLUP Radio also doing sportscasts. While working for WLUP, Wolf created a character named "Chet Chitchat", a blended caricature of Chicago sportscasters Chet Coppock and Chuck Swirsky, his predecessor at WLUP, which became a weekly feature on the station's morning program. In 1987 Wolf joined WFLD FOX News Chicago, where he became the morning sports anchor. While working for FOX he received three local Emmys. After 18 years working for WFLD-TV, Wolf joined WMAQ-TV (NBC 5) where he has worked as the host of “Barely Today,” an irreverent news program and as a sportscaster. Wolf also works on occasion for WGN radio.Wolf is known for his unique brand of humor while reporting stories[citation needed]. Wolf, who is also an attorney, studied journalism at Northwestern University and also earned a law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law [1].
