Thanks for verifying that Van, I just knew no one would hire this POS without him having to PAY to be on the air!

He is paying out of his own pocket.

A two hour info-mercial featuring a complete moron who bedded down with a convicted felon who stole ppls money talking sports AND money.

Yeah, that has advertisers lined up to invest in.

If anybodt thinks this is gonna last more than two weeks, you have alot more hope in the stupid sorts than reality.

Really? Ok. Now I get it. I thought it was different than Comcast. It's another "no risk" for the station. In the end, CBS will break even, Pappy will lose a little, and they'll show him the door like Comcast. This time it will come quicker like you suggest.

The only way Nort is on television is if he is paying to be there.

He is delving deep into his own pocket this time, and has to play by a much different set of rules.

When they get their first dose of the ratings, he will be gone.
His spin will be the time slot, and I will bet you money the Magic bullet infomercial will out draw this preposterous idea of a sport and money show hosted by a guy whos claim to fame is getting his reputation raped by a ponzi scheme running felon.


Something tells me this doesnt even see one day on the air, actually.
CBS doesnt lose a dime either way.

North's ratings history at the Score and Comcast, the colossal failure of Dontfademe, the Webio disaster, all the shit we've talked about here for years, etc., etc., etc. are all public knowledge and we all know these stories quite well, as does anyone in the industry who can read the English language. I can only conclude that these broadcast execs who keep giving this guy new shows are aware of something that we here don't know. There is some hidden magic to Mike North that mere mortals like us here on this board apparently can't comprehend, so I have come to the conclusion he is an absolute god--a divinity. There is almost a surrealistic, a religious aura, if you will, to this entire concept of Channel 2 approaching this turd after all this and saying, "Yeah, you're the man, be our morning guy." He's got to be divine and I am now a believer. Praise be to Mike North. Don't be surprised if you see a shadowy figure walking across Lake Michigan tomorrow morning--yep, it'll be Mike North.

I hear crickets. This will fail more so than the Comcast gig. 5 am is waaaaaay to early to see two mopes that have faces for radio. Not to mention the womanly shrieks from North and the Booming chuckles from Jiggs. I did notice Jens name was missing from that article.

hey hate or love North, you got to give him credit for one thing, he knows how to take care of the big wigs and to do favors. Because with guys like this, a favor is never sincere, it's always kept as a tab for future pay back. Buy hey, that's how the business world works right, so at least the guy has some brains knowing how to rub the right people the right way. In these economic times, it's a gig, so North and Jiggs should be thankful for anything they get.

Bernsey is just jealous because he has been stuck in the same job for years.

When are you Mike North bashers going to learn? "Mike North is done in Chicago". Oops.
I told you guys that he would land another gig soon, & it certainly looks like he traded up.
Wait until CBS wants WSCR to do some cross promotion with channel 2 with the Monsters!

Do you really think CBS TV would invest in a show and cancel it after just 2 weeks?

I have to give the Devil his due.....He won't go down without a fight....I have a grudging respect for this cartoon character....I have ripped him a new asshole on this board....I still think he is an uneducated classless buffoon.....but his survival instincts are those of a great white shark.

Larz and Seacrest have been right all along....

He is not.

From Rosenthal's column in today's Trib:

It still might be a costly bust, in which case the onus is on Cohen, Kiernan, their team and the ways in which they have chosen to deviate from the newspaper guy's advice. But it's hardly gambling to bail on the current morning newscast.

"First of all, what we're doing doesn't work. To me, that was the easiest part of the decision," Cohen said. "We needed to do something different and we needed to do it in a way that was innovative and that we can execute at a high level consistently. To do that, we had to make a big commitment. ... So we're going to do our darndest to make this work."


The rest of the story is below. It includes a mention that the hosts will be able to endorse products, since they are not newscasters.

Hahahahahhahaahahah

I congratulate Mike. This might be just the vehicle to get him back on track since he most likely does not have production control. He will not have to concentrate as hard on sponsorship or production. He won't be talking about politics or current events. He will not even be required to carry the show. Mike will be back to doing what Mike does best, being a wild card sports talker.

I have no doubt you will see Jiggles with an associate producer credit and Be Be with a producer credit. Neither will have substantive input on the day to day production of the show.

Good luck to Mike. It looks like he weathered the storm during this recession.

Hey, we can still be conspiratorial....maybe North paid for the lawyer for Hernandez to MAKE SURE Hernandez took a damned deal and copped out so North and BeBe would not have to testify and PUT AN END to North's career!!!

he put up some front money, thats all i am saying and said. few other nuggets, he presented his show to wgn, fox and wciu and got shot down.

WCIU?

I guess episodes of Judge Mathis and reruns of The Steve Harvey Show are more appealing to viewers.

More power to pappy for keeping his head above water, he is doing better then the guys who are unemployed partially because of him, that is where my problem lies with him. Just because he wrote a 500 check one time to a few people doesnt get him off the hook for fucking up peoples life because of his lack of checking out DH. Pappy just went from comcast and a decent time slot to the worse news station in chicago and got put in the 5am-7am slot....thats a step down, no matter how u look at it.

Bigfan has said it and i agree with it, give up total control, get back on the radio and I am all for it, at some point he is going have to do it.

I'll give you this much Scorehead, you are steadfast in your opinions. I don't agree with your thoughts, but you seem like a likeable guy. Agree to disagree when it comes to North.

I find the 'steadfast'-ness of his opinions make him extremely unlikeable.

It is entirely understandable that he would pitch it to several outlets.

Will Nort dress like he is on television, or will he still rock the 'Affliction' T-shirts and ball caps?
