Two years later Wilson was given a 1 hour post-game Bears show called "Otis Wilson Sports Profile," where he was able to showcase more of his commenting skills and ideas. During that time he had Michael Jordan, Chris Chelios and other leading athletes in the Chicago area on his show. Wilson has appeared on or worked for ABC, WMAQ, FOX, WBBM, and WGN in Chicago.
