Bob Sirott

Chicago broadcaster Bob Sirott began his career in radio as a disc jockey for WBBM-FM before moving to WLS (AM). He made the transition to television at WBBM-TV. From there, he became a correspondent for the CBS newsmagazine West 57th. In 1989, Sirott returned to Chicago as the co-anchor of WMAQ-TV's "First Thing in the Morning" along with Alison Rosati. After four years at WMAQ, he anchored "Fox Thing in the Morning" on Chicago's FOX affiliate WFLD with his wife marianne murciano, until let go. Fans are still troubled, the ratings were high, and everyone liked the program. From 2002 to December 2005, he hosted "Chicago Tonight" on the Chicago PBS station, WTTW. At WTTW he also hosted the "Friday Night Show." His contract was not renewed in 2005 because of cost cutting. In early 2006, Bob rejoined WMAQ as a weekend anchor joining Anna Davlantes on the weekend 5 and 10PM broadcasts. Bob is now co-anchoring weekday 4PM newscasts with Marion Brooks and hosting The Radio Special on Saturday afternoons with his wife on WCKG. He is also developing new programming for the NBC owned station. On April 12, 2007 Chicago radio station WGN announced that it was reviving The Noon Show with Sirott as its host.

Bob Sirott's first wife was Carrie Cochran, who was a news anchor at WBBM-TV at the time he worked there.

Sirott and Murciano have a daughter.
