ALLCITY Network parent ALLCITY Network has parted ways with Kevin Kaduk, the key figure who helped launch CHGO, effective last week. In a LinkedIn post, Kaduk expressed his gratitude for what he and his team had accomplished but acknowledged that his departure was not the expected outcome.
Sources close to the matter have revealed that Kaduk's exit is part of a broader corporate restructuring effort within ALLCITY Network, which has also resulted in the elimination of its newsletters across five markets - Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Kaduk declined to comment further on his departure.
Kaduk's tenure at CHGO came to an abrupt end just months after he succeeded Tony Gill as head of content for the outlet. Following Gill's dismissal, Jake Flannigan took over as general manager of CHGO, overseeing its operations since then. The digital sports platform recently celebrated a significant milestone by reaching 100,000 subscribers in December.
Kaduk's professional background is marked by his notable stint at Yahoo Sports, where he wrote the popular "Big League Stew" blog from 2008 to 2013 and served as lead editor until 2020. His appointment as regional content director for CHGO and ALLCITY Network was seen as a testament to his influence in the sports media space.

I'm kinda sad to see Kevin Kaduk go... 
He was one of the key guys who helped launch CHGO and it's awesome that they were able to reach 100k subs last month! 
But, I get why he'd wanna move on - corporate restructuring and all that jazz 
. I mean, it makes sense that ALLCITY Network would want to shake things up after a while.
Will they keep the newsletters going or just focus on other areas? 
That's some tough decisions ahead! 
I loved reading his takes on sports stuff. Fingers crossed he'll do great things next 
gotta wonder if ALLCITY Network is trying to cut costs or rebrand or what?
) and now he's gone from there to ALLCITY Network... it feels like a natural progression, but also kinda abrupt.
like, what does that say about the state of our media landscape? we're all so used to these personalities coming and going, but kaduk was a key part of chgo's launch, right? he's got this huge following from his time at yahoo sports... did all that experience and influence just make him feel like he couldn't take it anymore? 
... it's all about saving $$ 
... but kaduk was more than just his job, he brought that energy to chgo 
... 100k subs is no joke 
, but it's cool that they celebrated his win 
... kaduk's got some serious cred in the sports world 
... i still think he's gonna land on his feet 
. And can we talk about how they're axing their newsletters across all these markets? Like, what even is the point of having a network if you're not gonna share your content with people? 
ANYWAY, KEVIN KADUK WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART 
hope he lands on his feet tho, been around the block a few times with yahoo sports and big league stew. not sure what's goin on behind the scenes at allcity but corporate restructuring can be a bummer for talent
