From Feder:


"When Mike North announced his retirement last summer, he made it clear he was through with sports radio — but not with broadcasting. Now living in Huntley, the longtime talker is launching a weekly show on old movies. “Mike at the Movies” will air at 4 p.m. Thursdays on Huntley Community Radio low power WHRU 101.5-FM, starting today. North will “take you behind the scenes in the making of the movie as well as the backstories of all of your favorite famous actors,” according to executive director Jim Eggers. “His show puts a contemporary spin on all of the classic movies.”

Huntley's right down the road. I'll have to invite that clown to Randall Roadhouse or Rookies I bet he'd be good for about 30 minutes of entertainment...or maybe not.

He could probably start a Patreon and make a few bucks.

Just leave it to an old white man to appropriate a successful female's business model.

Oh the old white man
He ain't what he used to be
Ain't what he used to be
Ain't what he used to be
The old white man
He ain't what he used to be
Many long years ago
Many long years ago
Many long years ago
Oh the old white man
He ain't what he used to be
Many long years ago

I'm embarrassed for him. He is still young enough that he shouldn't be doing radio for old people's homes.

We're going on ten years since the end of his morning show, right? Either almost there or just passed it.

June 25th, so his last day would have been a few days before that.

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2008 ... o-heritage


Quote:
North was outrageous on his morning show, making comments that some deemed racist (he referred to former Cubs Korean pitcher Jae Kuk Ryu as a "Chinaman" and suggested a local TV anchor "wear a sombrero" to acknowledge his Latino heritage) and sexist (saying a female ESPN reporter must have slept her way to getting plum assignments).

This is what the Score was all about.

Quote:
While many disparaged him for losing to ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning," North pointed to being ranked eighth in the city in the morning among men 25-54. "I'm proud to have worked in my hometown," North said.

"And I will continue to work in my hometown." Mike Mulligan and Brian Hanley have the inside track to nail down North's old time slot.

Mike North + Jason Goff = MATCH

And Goff was ranked 3rd. :lol: :lol: :lol:

God that morning show was much a giant turd.

Wow,as a fan of North's,just wow!

That is one last act of desperation from a bitter former big timer.

Maybe he could get Chet on there to do reviews of old TV shows.

I remember the rumors of "Gomer Pyle" visiting the big cock candy mountain quite a few times.

It was easily the worst long-term show on the Score in the years I've been listening. Hamp & Holmes was really bad, but it was only two hours and only lasted about nine months. North killed mornings for years.

Mike North wasn't motivated by hate like Goff.

I think they winter in Vegas and spend the summer in the retirement community in Huntley.

He lives in Dell Webb??? jesus man...you aren't that old. If I'm lucky I'll run into him at the Dairy Mart. They used to have the best fucking boston shakes around. I don't think it was as great last time I was there.

The most uncomfortable period of the show was when guys like Drinky were guesting and Annie was relegated to news updates and otherwise silenced. You could feel her pain with every emotionless update as “Why did I leave WGN”? echoed in her head.
