Bob Sirott

Generations of Midwesterners have grown up with lifelong Chicagoan Bob Sirott. First as a top Chicago rock and roll DJ in the 70s and later as a news anchor on CBS2, NBC5 and Chicago Tonight on PBS. Bob also worked as an anchor/ correspondent for the 1985 CBS-TV network newsmagazine “West 57th.”

​

Bob’s frequent broadcast partner is his wife Marianne Murciano who co-anchored the ground-breaking Emmy award winning “Fox Thing In The Morning” on Fox32 in the 90s.

​

Sirott’s radio career began when he was 21. While working as a producer and writer at NBC Radio in Chicago, Bob landed a summer on-air job at WBBM-FM.  Two years later, the former legendary Chicago rock radio powerhouse WLS took notice of his popularity and hired him for their 2-6pm shift, where Bob famously achieved great success for the next seven years before moving to television in 1980.

​

Sirott currently hosts “Icons of the Ivy”, a series of interviews with Chicago Cubs legends, on the Cubs Marquee Sports Network.

​

After several previous stints on WGN Radio, Bob is back home on “Chicago’s Very Own” AM 720 weekday mornings 6-10.

​

Bob is a graduate of Chicago’s Columbia College.

​

​Of his many awards and achievements, Sirott considers being the voice of the coal mine exhibit at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry his proudest accomplishment.
