FUN FACTS

I'm a native Chicagoan.  I'm 100% Greek.  I'm a first generation Greek-American.  My favorite film is Swingers.  I have a Pit Bull Boxer mix named Izzy.  I have a cat named Orange Kitty.  I'm very organized.  I love lists.  I knew I wanted to work in entertainment my entire life.  Oprah Winfrey and I wore the same outfit to her show once. My favorite guest booking of all time is the real-life Henry Hill from the movie, Goodfellas.

CATHY VLAHOGIANNIS

Cathy Vlahogiannis has been recognized by the National Academy of Arts and Sciences with three Emmy® Awards and 17 nominations.


Her 10 years at WLS-TV (ABC 7) saw her produce, write and edit 190 North, the longest-running weekly entertainment/lifestyle show in Chicago broadcast history.  She developed, produced and edited two programs for ABC's national Live Well Network, Let's Dish (a cooking show) and Here's How Right Now (a home improvement series). And, she produced various travel, public affairs and live specials, including ABC 7's highest-rated annual live broadcast, Countdown Chicago.


Cathy began her broadcasting career in radio marketing and promotions in 1999, first at WKIE-FM (92KissFM), then at WKQX-FM (Q101).  She then spent three years co-hosting and producing the daily, nationally syndicated radio talk show, Mancow's Morning Madhouse, on Q101.  Cathy joined Mancow once again on WLUP-FM (97.9 The Loop) from 2015-2018 as his co-host, producer and traffic reporter.  It was during her time at 97.9 The Loop that Cathy had the opportunity to be seen on screen, most notably in Director Eli Roth's modern-day reimagining of the 1974 classic film, Death Wish.


In 2018, Cathy made the transition into film/television production. She assisted the Creator/Showrunner and Executive Producers/Writers of NBC's Chicago Fire. She also worked as a Production Assistant on all of the Chicago-based Dick Wolf produced shows (Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med).


Currently, Cathy is a Set Decoration Buyer. She has worked on several productions, including NBC's Chicago Fire (Season 8), the Twentieth Television pilot, Ordinary Joe, and the Warner Bros. feature film, The Batman (Chicago Unit).


Cathy is a union member of SAG-AFTRA and IATSE Local 476. She is also a member of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the Set Decorators Society of America. 


Cathy is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago, where she majored in television journalism, and she studied film at Chicago Filmmakers and The Second City. A native Chicagoan, and a first-generation Greek-American, Cathy is also fluent in the Greek language.
