I just found out (although it has apparently been known in Chicago for
quite some time) that Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel have left Sneak
Previews.  They decided to go with a commercial station for greater
exposure (and money).

Sneak Previews will continue however.  The producers conducted a
nationwide search and looked at several hundred applicants.  These
were narrowed down to a few finalists, and I believe the final choice
has been made, but it is being kept secret to milk the publicity for
all its worth.
