CHICAGO (AP) — Nationally syndicated radio host Doug Banks, a longtime fixture in Chicago radio and television, has died at age 57. Banks co-hosted the news feature show "190 North" for 10 years on WLS-TV, an ABC affiliate in Chicago. The station reported he died Monday of complications from diabetes. The Philadelphia native was raised in Michigan and began his career at his Detroit high school radio station, when he was noticed and given a late-night weekend show by WDRQ-FM. He later worked at radio stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. Several shows were syndicated. He also worked at Chicago's rhythm-and-blues station WVAZ-FM in Chicago. His business partner, DeDe McGuire, said Banks' wife informed the station's program director of his death. Banks also is survived by his four children.
