"Some of you may have heard through the grapevine that I'll be leaving" Chris said in a post on his Facebook page. "I'll be moving east to Boston. It's near home for me. In June I'll be starting at NBC Boston/ NECN" he said.
"In the TV business, you constantly move around, but in this case Milwaukee will be my second home! My wife is from Muskego and all of you have welcomed me with opened arms - so thank you!"
