In Feder's column today:

"Bruce Wolf, the Chicago broadcasting treasure who's been without a television outlet since February, could land a unique dual role at WMAQ-Channel 5. He's negotiating to join the NBC-owned station for a job on the morning show that would encompass sports and traffic duties."

I like Bruce, but the way Feder strokes him is downright uncomfortable.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, Mike North, it tolls for thee.

As befits the tragic comedy that is the Score's morning show, I quote the Bard "By my troth, I care not; a man can die but once."

Mike North, I pray that your plummeting career proves Shakespeare wrong. Please die at Channel 5, and again at 670 am.

Well, I think Leann Trotter there hasn't done that great of work on traffic and the sports is always taped from the night before so they are in essence replacing one person. They might continue the North segment and let him goof around with Wolf.

Why?

Why not? If he has a contract with them, they would have to pay him for the rest of the duration. It's like Jim Hendry doing with Dusty Baker. He should get rid of him but he doesn't want to eat a contract so he's keeping him on for the rest of the year.

And just how much longer does that contract run? Do you know the terms of the deal?

Always takes the media an extra year to figure out when someone they have on TV is no longer drawing anyone.

Of course in North's case. I don;t think they ever drew anyone.

What kind of money did he get for that deal?
