Chuck Goudie thought he’d be in Walt Disney World this week with his family to celebrate his 40th year at ABC-owned WLS-Channel 7. At least that was the plan.
Instead the renowned chief investigative reporter for Chicago’s top-rated station is confined to his west suburban Hinsdale home where he’s been broadcasting I-Team reports live up to four times a day from a workstation in his living room.
What makes his professional milestone even more noteworthy is that Goudie is back to working in close proximity to his wife, whom he met his first day on the job April 14, 1980. Chuck was just in from WSOC, the ABC affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Teri Tausk was an ABC 7 news producer. They’ve been married since 1982.
