Dick Biondi, Chicago Radio Legend, Dies at 90

The world is mourning an entertainment legend.

NBC’s beloved One Chicago and Law & Order franchises were not spared during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.

Joe Otterson TV Reporter NBC is making changes to its fall 2023 schedule, with the broadcaster also setting premiere dates for the upcoming season. The broadcaster had previously announced its fall schedule on May 12, just 10 days into the writers’ strike that largely shut down Hollywood productions. But with no end to that strike in sight and SAG-AFTRA now joining the writers on the picket lines, NBC is being forced to shake things up. Most notably, the network is no longer planning on its Wednesday night “One Chicago” block, nor will episodes of “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: SVU” air on Thursdays. Instead, NBC will air the season finale of “America’s Got Talent” on Wednesday, Sept. 27 and the People’s Choice Country Awards on Thursday, Sept. 28. The network will then air reruns of “One Chicago” shows at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays beginning Oct. 4 followed by new episodes of “Quantum Leap” and “Magnum P.I.” “Quantum Leap” had finished the majority of its second season prior to the writers’ strike, while “Magnum P.I.” will debut the second part of its fifth and final season after moving to NBC from CBS.

The producer has suffered various health issues including cancer, multiple strokes, diabetes, quadruple bypass surgery and a leg amputation according to a 2020 fundraising campaign. Last week, he shared a photo of himself on Instagram in the hospital with the caption “pray for me.”DJ Deeon was part of a group of Chicago-based house DJs in the early 90s that innovated the minimal, raunchy strand of house that became known as ghetto house. The subgenre was driven by 808 and 909 drum machines and sexually explicit lyrics.

"And I'm like, ‘My bag?’ I said ‘Jamie?’.

Twain, 57, was strutting across the stage in Chicago to her song "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)" in knee-high boots when she slid and fell to the ground.  In a fan recorded video, the country star did not skip a beat, amusingly yelling to the crowd, "Don't be stupid Chicago. You know I love you," before letting out a little scream.
