John McGivern is back! His new show, “John McGivern’s Main Streets” will debut on Jan. 30 across the Midwest, including on FOX 6 in Milwaukee.
The comedian and regional travel show host will be hitting six states and 13 cities. Each half-hour episode will explore main streets in the Upper Midwest, including stops in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. Plum Media, a Milwaukee company, is producing the series for distribution.
“We are thrilled to welcome the ‘John McGivern’s Main Streets’ program to our Sunday morning line-up,” said Chuck Steinmetz, SR VP General Manager of Milwaukee’s WITI FOX 6. “John’s gift of storytelling combined with a strong morning news lead-in will be an excellent addition to our Sunday mornings.”
