Although the Winter Solstice is behind us and the days will be getting brighter, the weather is about to cool off here in Chicago. With the chill in the air comes Netflix, TV, and wool socks season. This week we keep it close to home and take a look at the Top Chicago On-Air Personalities on Twitter. Using Cision’s media database, we compiled the list based on Cision’s proprietary research. All numbers were pulled December 16, 2015 and will change over time as the follower counts fluctuate.
