If you're looking for the Westwood One broadcast of tonight's Packers/Saints' "Monday Night Football" game from New Orleans tonight on 670 "The SCORE", forget it. Even though the papers claim WSCR will air the game, a visit to 670thescore.com and the schedule says otherwise. The CBS Radio-owned sports talker will be staying live & local tonight, with Matt Abbatacola, Doug Buffone & Bears' starting QB Kyle Orton on Miller Lite's "Top Draft Show" at 6p, followed by "Bud Light Hockey Night in Chicago" with the Blackhawks' Justin Byfuglin & Jesse Rogers at 8p. As for ESPN Radio 1000, they've already got the Bulls & Jazz scheduled tonight, starting with Steve Kashul's pregame at 7:30p. As far as I know, not one Chicago station will air the important "MNF" game with Marv Albert & Boomer Esiason's national call via Westwood One. The closest station that'll carry the game is on the Packers' flagship WTMJ 620 with Wayne Larrivee & Larry McCarren, that is if you can pick up the station's feed.

Good, I was annoyed last week or maybe the week before when I got off work at 8 on Monday and when trying to find some Bears talk for my 45 minute drive home I was greeted to MNF on SCR, the Bulls on MVP, and the Hawks on WGN.

It's really annoying... and it pisses me off.

If they're not going to carry the Westwood One broadcast, at least run it on another CBS owned stationed.

Where is Stocks and Jocks too? I notice they're running rebroadcasts from 5AM to 6AM every morning this week. I wonder if Doc and Chief have gone the way of the stock market - DOWN THE CRAPPER.

Monday Night Football is a TV show. You dont hear me complaining about not getting to listen to The Office on Thursdays at work

It turns out "The SCORE" picked up the Westwood One broadcast after all, but at 10p instead of Dan Patrick's tape delayed show last night. It's one thing if Matt Abbatacola, Doug Buffone & Bears' starting quarterback Kyle Orton had a live broadcast, but it didn't make any sense for Jesse Rogers & Dustin Byfuglien to host another local show right after that. I thought it was a typo when I checked out 670thescore.com's Schedule, and couldn't find the Packers/Saints' game listed. To make matters worse, WSCR joined it when the game was all but decided and New Orleans was well on their way to winning! :oops: What's wrong with cutting off the "Top Draft Show" at 7:30p so that listeners can catch "Monday Night Football" in its entirety? Besides, I thought WGN 720 now carries the Blackhawks, not "The SCORE"... :oops: :oops: :oops:

1) There's probably big money coming from Miller Lite and Bud Light sponsoring those respective football and hockey shows.
2) Bears talk should pre-empt a Packers game on the self-styled home of Bears talk, should it not? Shouldn't any Chicago sports talk pre-empt a Packers game on a Chicago sports talk station?
3) If you wanted to listen to the Packers game, TMJ comes in clear as a bell throughout the region.

I just think it's interesting that the Blackhawks never seemed to get any respect for their money when the games were on the Score, but they now have a weekly hockey show, sponsored by an NHL corporate partner too.

I think there's another "Bud Light Hockey Night in Chicago" broadcast at 6p tonight on "The SCORE", but they won't air the first 30 minutes of Westwood One's "Monday Night Football" game between the Buccaneers & Panthers tonight...Why? :?

Because they're airing local programming, stupid. Just watch the game, or listen to Booyah Radio.

Who owns the trademark on "Booyah"? I know "Jurko" refers to Stuart Scott as "Booyah Boy", while callers to CNBC's "Mad Money" say "booyah" to host Jim Cramer when they call in...
