Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - Has WGN 720 ever had a black host?

Big difference. I hate my own race.

Well, if you can forget that I brought it up, I think this is a worthy topic.

I'd like to know if their producers are always white. Anybody know?

Actually I forgot his name but there was a guy in the booth in either the late 80s or early 90s.

Davey Nelson was his name. Butchering the English language was his game.

Has WGCI ever had a white host? I ask that only half kidding.

A more appropriate question: Has WGN ever had an entertaining host? Don't give me the litany of lame ones, either.

WGCI had a white guy named Bob Wall. That didn't turn out well for them. Something involving Wall and an under aged girl comes to mind.

Ok. That might be the only one. It's been all white since I've been listening. Even for their sports shows which you would think might include some black athletes. Who have they had? Hampton, Koslowski and Waddle. Three Polar Bears. Kaplen and Memelo are their sports hosts now. They also had that white guy that got arrested for trying to bang a teenager.

I'm shocked Jesse Jackson hasn't been on their ass. How long has WGN been around? Since the 1930s I think. You'd think they'd hire some black people. Let's be honest, that station is for people who are scared of black people.

Like I said, they never have black guys for their sports shows. Never in the Cubs booth. Why didn't Ernie Banks or Billy Williams get it instead of Santo? Their pre game host is always white.

Here is WGN's weekly schedule. Look at all of these boaring white people.

Just a random thought. I don't think they have. Sometimes I check in late at night or on the weekends and it's alwasy a boaring white guy or girl talking about gardening or movies. I know they've never had a black guy doing Cubs baseball.

I seem to remember a guy named Floyd Brown doing work on WGN radio years ago. And yes, Brown was black.

You don't find it odd that they never have black people on the air? You don't wonder about the reason? Hell, all of the Bears players and they just happen to go with Koz, Hampton and Waddle. You don't find that curious? I do. Look at fuckin' Koz. That guy is an idiot and he never got on the field.

I know they are never gonna have a black host for their weekday shows. They do have news guys and girls that gives updates. They are white. Their weekend and over night people are white. I don't know their names but I know they are white. Like I said, they never have black guys for their sports shows. Never in the Cubs booth. Why didn't Ernie Banks or Billy Williams get it instead of Santo? Their pre game host is always white.

Larry hates me, I'm sure, but right now he's reading this and jumping up and down. I think it's important that a cracker brings this up, Larry. It shows how far we have come. I'm trying to solve racism. One post at a time.

Chico wasn't white. He must have been their Rooney Rule sports host.

Wall was #1 in the ratings, giving wgn fits until he and his wife were caught in a 3some with the teen.

Their pre game host is always white. Back in the DeWayne Staats days, his sidekick was I think Davey Nelson? or some such. He had a habit of telling strange stories about his "roommate." That apparently wasn't gay enough for the Cubs as they then brought on the unparalleled Thom "Mysterious broken jaw in hotel room mishap" Brenneman. Of course we all know Joe "Wildfire" Carter would be a legend in this town if he only had been on radio and not TV.

Even though their website might not list them, Intangibles is right, Yvonne and her hubby filled in on a Saturday morning 2 or 3 weeks ago.
