Here are the parts that are in every Dennis Swanson profile, way up high: In the local broadcast industry, Swanson is one of the best-known masterminds and one of the biggest risk-takers. And it was Swanson who gave Oprah Winfrey her big break in Chicago, helping transform WLS Chicago into a powerhouse. That's the short story. It's true, in New York, he also transformed a Christmas-tree lighting into a network spectacle. And it's true that, at ABC Sports, Swanson lobbied the International Olympic Committee to stagger the winter and summer games.
