Dig A Hole: Chicago TV anchor Randy Salerno

January 25th, 2008 by Scott Marks

Having been away from the Chicago TV scene for going on nine years, my last recollection of Randy Salerno was on the WGN News at Noon.

WGN was never known for their cutting edge and something about Salerno always seemed out of place. First off, he possessed a certain degree of wit, something that you’ll never find in Steve Sanders or Allison Payne. When Randy read the news he made viewers aware that there was something more going through his head than just teleprompter copy.

The only thing surprising about his jump to WBBM was that it took so long.

Randy Salerno was killed last night in a freak snowmobiling accident. His snowmobile broke down and while hopping a ride from a lifelong friend, they slid off the trail, Randy was thrown from the vehicle and hit a tree.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and three children. Randy Salerno was 45.
