Until 2021, Giangreco had anchored the sports segment on ABC7 during the 5pm and 10pm newscasts.

He attended the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio.
In college, he began his broadcasting career on WING Radio.
His first TV job was at the local NBC station in Dayton, Ohio.
Giangreco was employed there for less than a year when in 1978, he moved to Louisville, Kentucky.
After only four years in Louisville, he moved to Chicago to work for WMAQ-TV.
He remained there from 1982 to 1994 when he joined ABC7 in Chicago where he stayed until 2021.
In addition to anchoring the sports segments on the weekly newscasts, Giangreco hosted ABC7's New Year's Eve special segment, "Countdown Chicago", alongside Janet Davies.

In 2004, Giangreco was suspended one week without pay for a joke on the city of Detroit, Michigan after the Detroit Pistons won the NBA championship.
The joke consisted of a black-and-white movie clip of a city burning and said it was a "typical night for Detroit."
Immediately following the clip, Giangreco said he was just kidding.
Many who were deeply offended said his actions were racist, but he is known for his sarcasm and humor and some believe the joke was made in good jest.

He was suspended by ABC for his comments that were said to be "not in line with ABC 7 Chicago’s non-partisan editorial standards."
On January 28, 2021, there was an incident when he referred to news anchor Cheryl Burton as “ditzy” after covering a 10pm sports section of the newscast, and he was removed from the air.
On March 12, 2021, Giangreco was fired from the station.
