this is good news for the station. he was an automatic turn to another station radio for me.

Truly an unexpected take.

Daily Herald sports columnist Barry Rozner may be calling it quits after 10 years as a prominent weekend and fill-in personality at Entercom sports/talk WSCR 670-AM. Rozner told Mitch Rosen, operations director of The Score, that he does not expect to be back as host of “Hit & Run,” which airs from 9 a.m. to noon Sundays during baseball season. “We’re still communicating and we’ll see what comes of it, but I don’t — at this moment — see a path to returning,” Rozner said Sunday. “No hard feelings. No one to blame. There’s just no role there for me comparable to the last 10 years, when I hosted nearly 1,400 shows. If it’s over, I will miss ‘Hit & Run’ more than I can properly express. It was a great run and I’m grateful for the opportunity Mitch gave me.” Rozner has filled in for weekday hosts on The Score more often than anyone else, but he’s been passed over for promotion to a full-time position three times. Rosen, who was out of town, said he plans to meet with Rozner when he returns. “Barry has been a great team member on ‘Hit & Run’ and a terrific fill-in host loved by all,” Rosen said. “I hope he continues.”

So Rozner out and Speigel at a reduced role while McKnight and Haugh have prominent time slots. Poor moves by DeCastro.

Trying to pull a power play for more airtime by going to Feder.

I'm not seeing how this will play well with DeCastro.

I liked him on Hit and Run. I hated him on everything else.

You're right about McKnight, and I would want to see Speigel take a bigger role, but the station is better post DeCastro than pre DeCastro. Haugh is an improvement over Hanley, Mac is back, and the political/sjw talk is down to a minimum. Rozner was not bad on hit and run but he was incredibly annoying every place else. Speigel is a much better fill in guy and hit and run host.

Rozner should go to MLB Radio.

Not the Ryan Seacrest-looking Barry Rozner??!

I agree that DeCastro has made more positive than negative moves since taking the helm. Getting rid of Goff and bringing back Mac were huge improvements. However, you could counter that the midday show is average at best while nothing on the station is better than the Speigel/Parkins combo that he broke up.

Who honestly wants more Rozner?

Not in the demo numbers. I'm baffled by it as well, but the midday show on WSCR did a 4.2 this summer in the demo compared to a 2.3 demo figure for WMVP in the same time slot. Chicago apparently loves itself some Milquetoast Smart Guy Sports Talk.
