It really seems to me that north thinks they will be the only ones on the internet. He acts like he discovered a new world.


Which is why it will be a venture with a fraction of the operating costs, a fresh new sound, and the desire to topple the Hot Dog man that will eventually get the listeners.

I think the concept is novel. The technology for Internet in the cars is available, IDOT is still trying to figure out whether to provide it for government services or consumers (trial is being conducted on I-72).

Mmmm, see, I'm not so sure what's fresh and new about North & Jiggs, Huebner, Hood, Ofman doing updates or reports or whatever the hell he's doing, all topped off by "Alright, good evenin' everybody. Today we welcome the one and only Michael Keller Ditka to the show. Callers, your dime, your dance floor . . . "

Other than Boom-Boom, I just see a lot of recycled ex-radio guys here.

That's more like a weekend staff, no real talent, just noise.

Mac's saying mid-days are the new hot spot, so you might assume that the bulk of your listeners are not in vehicles by then. Who do you put on? For fun, assume Mac, although the reality is, you need someone who can pry audience from Hampton/Holmes, Tirico/Van Pelt, Murph, and some of the Silv/Waddle.

Several of these guys are on our various "bash lists," so saying its "doable" is not a reach.

Mac says that, not because it is accurate, but because he's going to the score in the 10am-2pm slot. Just watch.
Murph, Hampton and Holmes will all be gone from the weekday shift.
Drive time is still the biggest time slot.

My point is that the concept of webio has potential, but whomever has a successful breakout will possess a fresh new sound. North and the recycled SCoRe is not a fresh sound, and probably will try to sound as much as they did in their halcyon days during the early Score years. I think that as long as North has creative input he will give leverage to some entity (unknown) to be a success just by positioning against him.

Mr. Hernandez, an avid Chicago sports fan and CEO of NextStep Medical Staffing, doesn't have the bravado of Mr. North. But he threw out a bold statement, saying, "We will have a positive cash flow in the first year."

What? You can get sports scores on the internet?
Wow, north can just read this new discovery as breaking news.

This whole setup smells of a financial scam.



Even back in March, this deal smelled fishy.
