From there, he became a correspondent for the CBS newsmagazine West 57th. In 1989, Sirott returned to Chicago as the co-anchor of WMAQ-TV's "First Thing in the Morning" along with Alison Rosati. After four years at WMAQ, he anchored "Fox Thing in the Morning" on Chicago's FOX affiliate WFLD with his wife Marianne Murciano, until let go (making truthful their advertising slogan "Watch Us or We'll Be Fired"). From 2002 to December 2005, he hosted "Chicago Tonight" on the Chicago PBS station, WTTW. At WTTW he also hosted the "Friday Night Show." His contract was not renewed in 2005 because of cost cutting. In early 2006, Bob rejoined WMAQ as a weekend anchor joining Anna Davlantes on the weekend 5 and 10PM broadcasts. Bob is now co-anchoring weekday 4PM newscasts with Marion Brooks and hosting The Radio Special on Saturday afternoons with his wife on WCKG.
