Ryan Baker Steps Away from CBS Chicago

After 16 years at CBS Chicago, Ryan Baker is stepping away from broadcast journalism to take on a new mission — becoming president and CEO of First Tee Greater Chicago, where he’ll use golf to empower young people. Known for his iconic coverage of Cubs, White Sox, Blackhawks triumphs, and the Olympics, Baker’s departure marks the end of an era for Chicago sports fans. But his next chapter? A powerful pivot toward youth development, rooted in his deep community ties and lifelong commitment to making a difference. His last day is June 25th — and the station plans to honor him in the weeks ahead.
