As a floor director, Hannan was part of everything that went on at CBS 2 – and a direct witness to decades of changes in the technology and presentation of the news.

Ron Vasser

Former CBS 2 producer Roy Santoro wrote about the steady hand that Hannan provided while directing from the floor of CBS 2's working newsroom set at our old McClurg Court studios in Streeterville – with local legends Bill Kurtis and Walter Jacobson on the anchor desk. "When we had that working newsroom there it would get loud and only Buzz could bring it under control. I remember more than once Buzz yelling: 'Hey, everyone shut the hell up. We are coming out of break. And even Bill and Walter would obey," Santoro wrote."He always knew where everyone should be and when they should be there. And he was a funny guy with a good soul."

For 15 years, Hannan was also a fixture behind the scenes of"Siskel and Ebert," and later"Ebert and Roeper" – which taped from CBS 2's old studios. He also frequently worked with Jim Nantz on CBS' NFL coverage.
