ALLCITY Network parent company makes surprise move, letting go of Kevin Kaduk just weeks after restructuring.
Kevin Kaduk, the former regional content director at CHGO and ALLCITY Network, has confirmed his departure from both outlets in a LinkedIn post. The 47-year-old Kaduk announced that his time with the company came to an abrupt end last week, stating he's proud of what was built but is looking forward to new opportunities.
The Sun-Times has learned that Kaduk's exit is part of a larger corporate restructuring effort at ALLCITY Network, which also eliminated its newsletters in five markets: Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Details about the restructuring were not made available by Kaduk or his representatives.
Kaduk's departure marks another significant change for CHGO, following the departure of Tony Gill as head of content last November. Jake Flannigan now oversees the digital outlet, which reached a milestone of 100,000 subscribers in December. Kaduk played a key role in launching CHGO in 2022 and began overseeing each market in 2024.
A veteran journalist with experience at Yahoo Sports, where he wrote the popular "Big League Stew" blog from 2008 to 2013 and served as lead editor until 2020, Kaduk's departure is likely to be felt within the sports journalism industry.

kinda feel bad for kevin kaduk, seems like allcity network is makin some big changes & he's gettin cut loose 
. but hey, at least he's proud of what he built & lookin forward to new opportunities 
. wonder what led to the restructuring tho? hope chgo keeps doin its thang w/ jake flannigan @ the helm 
he was such a big part of chgo since its launch in 2022 and i always loved his work on big league stew 
now they gotta find someone new to fill his shoes... maybe jake flannigan will step up even more as head of content 
their newsletters were a great way for readers to stay updated and engaged. now they're gonna have to rebuild from scratch 
caduk was definitely one of the key players in getting CHGO off the ground, so his departure is a big loss for them... can't wait to see what's next 
. It's weird that they'd let him go now, just weeks after restructuring 
. Guess you never know what goes on behind the scenes, but it's always sad to see good people like Kaduk move on 
. Hope he finds something amazing soon, maybe even back at CHGO one day 
. Those newsletters getting axed in five markets is crazy too 
... just another sign that the big leagues are changing fast 
!
... i mean, someone's got to keep an eye on those markets for chgo... hope he finds a new outlet soon that appreciates him more 
anyway, gotta respect his move into new opportunities 
maybe we'll see more from him in the future? 
just saw this news about Kevin Kaduk leaving ALLCITY Network... really sad for CHGO fans 
. Like, what's going on with these restructurings? 
did some quick research and it looks like ALLCITY Network has been struggling to stay afloat since 2022 
. Their ad revenue is down by 30% from last year 
. just saying, his exit is gonna be felt big time in the sports journalism world 
. 47 years old and out? that's crazy talk 
.
I remember when he first started at CHGO in 2022, I knew he was going to be AMAZING 
and boy, was I right?! 
The way he grew the network from scratch is literally INSPIRING 
. Now he's moving on to new opportunities and I'm SO EXCITED 
for him! CHGO is gonna miss him so much, but Jake Flannigan is doing his best to keep the momentum going 
What do you think is next for CHGO and ALLCITY Network?
. and what about Tony Gill and Jake Flannigan, how will they handle things now? this is all just getting so complicated 
just saw that Kevin Kaduk left ALLCITY Network - I'm still trying to wrap my head around it 
This restructuring news is just adding to the chaos - I mean, what's up with eliminating newsletters in multiple markets? 
one minute you're having a thriving content director and newsletters, next he's gone 
gotta keep an eye on Jake Flannigan 
but hey, congrats to him on finding new opportunities! 100k subs is huge for chgo btw, kudos to jake flannigan 
... maybe this is a sign that the industry needs more ppl like him who can bring some life to sports journalism 
. Corporate restructuring happens all the time & it sounds like this was just a necessary step for the company. Still, it's gotta be tough on him & his team to see people leave, especially when they've invested so much time & effort into building something. On the flip side, 100k subscribers for CHGO is no joke! 
their newsletters thing seems like a weird move tho can't say i'm surprised about kaduk leaving though he was always kinda low key 
what's next for allcity network? hoping they find someone who can keep up with the growth of chgo
