Investigative reporter Chuck Goudie is joining NBC 5 Chicago after nearly 45 years at ABC 7 Chicago (WLS-TV). Goudie, known for his tough and fair reporting on organized crime, terrorism, political corruption, and global drug cartels, has won numerous journalism awards, including a national Emmy Award and a national Edward R. Murrow Award. He has covered major news stories from four continents, including Ground Zero in New York City, war zones in the Middle East, and the Vatican.
Goudie began his career in television at the age of 12, working on children's shows in Detroit. After a stint as a reporter/producer for the NBC-owned News and Information Service in 1975, he started his television news reporting career at WSOC in Charlotte, North Carolina, later becoming the station's primary sports anchor. He joined WLS-TV in Chicago in 1980 as a general assignment reporter and was promoted to chief investigative reporter in 1990. 'I walk into WMAQ on the shoulders of giants,' said Goudie. 'Many of them I have been lucky enough to know, stand beside, work with and learn from. Paul Hogan, Phil Walters, Floyd Kalber, Peter Karl, Renee Ferguson, Rich Samuels, Linda Yu, Rob Elgas, Mike Adamle, Phil Rogers, Dick Johnson, Rob Stafford, Mark Giangreco, Tim Weigel, Art Norman, Lisa Parker, Dick Kay, Ron Magers, Carol Marin, Don Moseley and other friends who are still in the Chicago trenches at NBC 5 that I am excited to join. I'm grateful to become part of an organization with such a powerful pedigree and a legacy of investigative excellence. A place with a motto more relevant today than ever, baked into its call letters: We Must Ask Questions.', Ramirez added, 'Investigative reporting is more important than ever. Adding Chuck, one of the best journalists in the nation, to our award-winning 'NBC 5 Investigates' team ensures an even greater commitment to our Chicagoland viewing audience.'
