With this well-deserved promotion, he'll continue his important reporting role during the week while having an opportunity to regularly anchor on Sunday mornings. " In addition, Graves announced that Eric Horng, formerly an ABC News Correspondent, will join Chicago's top-rated news station as a general assignment reporter effective August 9.
