The Philadelphia native has been a mainstay at ABC 7 since joining the station in 1982
A soft-spoken and seemingly ageless presence at WLS-Ch. 7, Alan Krashesky is stepping down after four decades as an anchor and reporter at the ABC-owned Chicago station.
His prodigious tenure at ABC 7 spans so long that he filed his inaugural reports in the waning days of the seminal “happy talk” anchor team ofand Fahey Flynn, which reshaped local news and built an enduring ratings giant in Chicago television. Relieved of his fill-in weather duties in 1984, Krashesky began doing local news segments during the daily “Good Morning America” broadcasts. In 1989, he became the first anchor of the morning newscast at ABC 7, partnering with Kathy Brock the following year. When it was all done, Krashesky would have a lengthy roster of co-anchors covering nearly every daypart at the station.
