Following the purchase, SportsChannel Chicago abruptly canceled its daily sports news program "The SportsChannel Report" on August 10, resulting in the layoffs of ten staff members (including the program's veteran anchors Jim Blaney, Steve Kashul and Dyrol Joyner). That October, the channel launched "Fox Sports Tonight", a similarly formatted sports news program focusing on local sports, intended to complement Fox Sports Net's national program "Fox Sports News". During that period, the channel relocated its production and office facilities to a new facility in the Apparel Center, at 350 North Orleans Street in the Near North Side area.
