Kurtis and Jacobson: Together Again

By Margaret Lyons in News on Nov 21, 2007 9:40PM

Old-school local newscasters Bill Kurtis and Walter Jacobson will be teaching a class in broadcast journalism at Columbia College. The duo co-anchored the WBBM 10pm news in the 70s and 80s, but now Jacobson is retired and Kurtis is busy hosting crime shows on A&E. They'll recreate the magic just for the month of January, (when Columbia has its intensive -study J-session) but we're convinced the legendary team will realize--after all these years!--that they really miss each other, and that their students have so inspired them, they have no choice but to get the old band together for One More Show.

If you haven't seen Kurtis get Mind Freaked (above), you haven't lived.
