Personnel File: WSCR's Mitch Rosen
Posted by Ed Sherman at 3/26/2009 on Chicago Business

We recently introduced our new feature, the Personnel File. This is a chance to get some insights into the people who move and shake the sports business and media community in Chicago and elsewhere.

Today's participant is long-time sports radio executive Mitch Rosen.

Current position: Program Director, WSCR-AM 670

Born: 1-17-66, Skokie

Education: Niles West High School; Winona State University

First job in sports: Sportswriter, Skokie Life Newspaper

Previous jobs: Radio since 1988; short stint as General Manager CBA team, Chicago Rockers

People who influenced you the most: Jimmy de Castro and Larry Wert. Both taught me the skills of managing people.

People you admire in the business: On-air talent, guys like Mike North, Dan Bernstein, Mike Murphy, and Terry Boers. All these guys understand sports radio and how to "play radio."

Most memorable day in the profession: Probably working the overnight shift during the first Gulf War. I was at WGN Radio, and I was able to produce talk shows through the night and track down people throughout the world. That was unbelievable.

What you value in a business relationship: Honesty.

Biggest challenge these days: Challenge between programming and sales. What makes good radio while establishing a business sense.

What would be the perfect day for you outside of your job: Hanging with my wife Mary & son Ben. We are a sports related family.

Favorite sports movies: "Slap shot"

Love to trade places for a day with: A Beer Vendor. It would be fun to talk to so many people.

White Sox fan or Cubs?: All Sox, business and personal

Favorite athlete to watch: Bobby Jenks

Words to live by: Radio is the best medium. It is still reactionary and instantaneous. The only competition to radio is radio itself.

On-air talent, guys like Mike North, ...................understand sports radio and how to "play radio."

Oh Mitch I question this statement. If he knew, he would still be there.

Anyone can ask for the sky, it takes a real idiot to expect it.

He mentions North but not Mully or Hanley...oooh. Although they are more newspaper guys than radio guys I guess.

That's worse than an athlete's post-game cliche fest.
