CHICAGO -- A new show has launched on NBC5 Chicago. "24-7 Chicago: Secrets of the City," will now air weekly at midnight following Saturday Night Live.
Podcast With Host Catie Keogh
The hosts, Catie Keogh and Billy Dec interview celebrities and local Chicagoans, providing a unique approach to Chicago's unique blend of urban liveliness and Midwestern charm. Reality TV personality and author Jamie Blyth is also featured as a correspondent on the show.
Keogh is an alumna of Chicago's IO, formerly Improv Olympics, and also trained with Second City. She was previously the host of "Just B TV" in Baltimore, MD, and has numerous national commercials on her resume.
"24-7 Chicago" first aired on NBC5 on New Year's Eve, and has previously aired as webisodes on its Web site, www.247chicago.tv.
Dec is the creator, owner and operator of some of Chicago's most popular restaurant and nightclub venues, and the force behind Rockit Ranch Productions.
Blyth, who appeared on ABC's "The Bachelorette," and co-authored the book "Fear is No Longer My Reality," rounds out the trio as he takes viewers throughout the city to meet new and familiar faces.
"We're thrilled to take '24-7 Chicago on-air," 24-7 Productions president Emerald Jane Hunter said. "There's no other Chicago show that really focuses on the people of the city -- and the people hold all the best secrets. Through '247 Chicago,' viewers will be able to learn things about the city that they never even knew, even if they've lived here their entire lives."
