Ted Rowlands heads to Chicago for CNN

Veteran CNN reporter and Bay Area alum Ted Rowlands (KTVU 2, KNTV, aka NBC Bay Area) is on the move again. He’s leaving his CNN Los Angeles gig to become the network’s Chicago correspondent, TV Newser says.

Add: Rowlands’ niche is high-profile crime cases (Michael Jackson, O.  J. Simpson, Phil Spector). He got his start with CNN in the San Francisco bureau in 2004 after covering the Scott Peterson murder trial for KTVU.
