ESPN 1000’s simulcast of Golic and Wingo placed ninth in their final book as morning co-hosts. Surprisingly, the show saw a ratings increase in the spring with a 4.3 share, up a half point from the winter book.

From 9a – noon, both stations were again in a tight ratings battle. ESPN 1000’s David Kaplan finished 12th with a 2.9, while Dan Bernstein was right behind with a 2.8 for The Score. Kap & Company dropped from a 3.5 share in the winter, while Bernstein was up almost a half point from what was his final book with co-host Connor McKnight.

You really have to hand it to Laurence, legit.

I really did enjoy his evening show. I don't listen during the day anymore. But, that guy just keeps on keepin' on.

I've taken lunch at the same time every day for the past month. Which means I catch Larry in the car.

I wouldn't search his show out. It's not offensive. It's not entertaining. It's not funny. It's not...anything.

:lol:

Getting beat by Kap.

Ouch.

I just don't really see how McDoink detracted in any way from Dan's shtick such that people would rather listen to Dan solo than Dan paired with Connor.

Your "gotcha" to me saying I don't know why people would rather listen to Dan solo is me saying that Connor is a "sycophant" who acts as a "jumping off point" for Dan's liberal tendencies? That's pretty weak, Rick.

It's pretty clear you didn't think Connor was a good fit with Dan.

Apparently people HATE Mully & Haugh, but like Bernstein Solo compared to him and McDoink?

Connor McKnight was a living, breathing detraction.

His voice was awful.

His agreeing with every stance Dan took was nauseating.

He had an inordinate love for stats.

He was more bland than plain yogurt.

His youtube channel has 93 subscribers.

He's so bad, he quit his own videos on youtube after only three.

Warren is being kind calling him superfluous.

Hell you could probably create a “best” of JDC channel featuring More than Mean as the headliner, and you’d attract a dozen or so people from here.

Major market radio host that had all of 93 people wanting to hear what he said after he was cut loose.

The pandemic was a perfect excuse to dump him and DiCaro.

The station is better off without both of them.

Agree entirely. It was like nails on the chalkboard listening to that show.

You listen to this random vanilla guy adding nothing and you're like "what the hell who even is this guy, how did he get here, what'd he do, win a contest or something?" and not only would you be right, but the contest was rigged
