A Chicago television studio was evacuated Wednesday night in the North Park neighborhood after the station got a telephone threat.

The threat came into WTTW Chicago, 5400 N. St. Louis Ave., about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and police were notified, according to a spokesperson for the station.

Chicago police reported an unknown person “made a telephone threat to a commercial business.”

Officers responded to the business and the building was evacuated. No injuries were reported and no one was in police custody as of late Wednesday, authorities said.

2. I'm thinking it's a CPD officer who is pissed at the news show "Chicago Tonight" or something like

that.

Chicago Tonight has a pretty balanced coverage of local politics and they put on true liberals and diverse panelists with the right wingers.

Our Chicago local NPR station WBEZ actually has very liberal programming during the day. The local news shows are heavily about diversity and inclusion.

3. Possibly in the mistaken belief that "Clifford the Big Red Dog" is a show glorifying communism. NT

4. Just change his name to

Putin the big Red Dog. Fixed.

5. Actually some people did get upset when Clifford the Big Red Dog introduced some lesbian

characters on the show.
