I found this more interesting..... Quote: Dominic Mancuso, who held senior management jobs at two Chicago stations, has been named general manager of WZTV-TV and WUXP-TV in Nashville, Tenn. He’ll also oversee WNAB-TV in Nashville. All three are owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. Mancuso previously was vice president of programming and promotions at Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32 and WPWR-Channel 50, and station manager of Tribune Co.-owned WGN-Channel 9. Perhaps this is the next landing spot for North and Mac and the other washed up has-beens. |

According to this blog, this crapfest has actually (appreciably) LOST viewers from whatever previously drew a .6-.7 on Channel 2

How about some "North is the American Dream" posts? North is just like the guy who wins the lotto and winds up dead assed broke. Shock and Stupid can only work so long...even here in Hooterville.... The silly son of a bitch believed his own bullshit.....told the SCORE to take their $850,000 and stick it where the Sun don't shine...and some folks here are still going to claim this LUCKY BASTARD has some sort of business sense, talent or a fucking clue. This goof's ego is taking him down the curb to the storm sewer.... His ceiling was WSCR....Somebody should have told him that...hard to do when you have your WIFE as your agent!!!!! When this dumb ass venture flops soon, somebody, anybody has to get through to North to GET BACK TO BEING MIKE NORTH of 15 years ago..the regular guy that folks loved...not this stupid starry eyed idiot he has become. |

Wonder if North blames his wife for worst career move ever in local broadcasting. Was there something as dumb that anyone can remember? I think one of the fat morning hosts at wgn-720 (Spike O'Dell) walked away from a million but that was because he retired. |

If he blames his wife, he is a fucking coward..... HE IS THE GUY THAT SET UP WEBIO WITH HIS ASS KISSING CON MAN BUDDY.....She is totally along on all of his ventures for the ride.....This is all about his EGO.....he gives her a few bogus titles and calls it a day. |

i am predicting north will be the first one to go, this isnt the worst format, but north is dragging it down and people just find him a joke. the whole "its going to take 6-12 months" bullshit is a dead excuse. he used it for dontfademe.com, webio and monster, all ventures that died because he doesnt have a creative bone in his body. |

Why am I not surprised? Besides, I've heard talk about "Pappy" possibly signing on at this proposed third sports talk radio station that was mentioned yesterday, supposedly if the White Sox say goodbye to 670 The SCORE after this season. Mike North wants to get back into radio...Stand in line with the other million dollar talkers who've lost their jobs in this economy! |

Just another North failure. This one failed on the first day!! The list of failures is sure growing, hopefully, he leaves town after this one. North = washed up has-been. |

The bottom-of-the-barrel ratings are great news, but as much as I'd like to join in the North-bashing, why bother? When this finally ends, one of the other worthless turds that run a Chicago radio or TV station will just give him another shot. After the Score, Webio, Dontfademe, the CD, the book, Monsters on Comcast, I had my hopes up that we'd seen the last of North. I'm not setting myself up for another disappointment. |

If you watched Chicago Tonight when Sirott interviewed O'Dell, Spike literally said he was going to sign one renewal and then retire. Not sure why so many people gave him crap for that. WGN had years to find a replacement. |

Did anybody actually think this failure had a chance to succeed? For all the bullshit surrounding it, Nort, and his rusted broken lock looking teeth, is the weakest link. If you actually want to give it unbias feedback, this type of show could succeed if they got rid of the moron, and installed a dress code so everybody looked a little bit professional. Srsly, would you take any advice from some unkept blowhard who looks like he got kicked out of the morning McDonalds group that litters in every golden arch around the world? The whole cluttered table top looks revolting, why would anybody listen to a bunch of un organized ppl? Clean up the show, get rid of Nort, and focus on money and sports, it could work. KING- Replace Nort with Dahl....really. |

I really can't believe this show is still on the air. I wonder how long the hosts contracts are & if they are guaranteed? As for a new FM sports radio station in Chicago, I hope it happens. They could pattern themselves after the Score in the early 1990's & could damn near hire all of the original WSCR hosts! Seriously though, there would be plenty of sports radio guys lined up for gigs on a new sports station. With the tremendous growth in the sports radio format, & cities like St. Louis with 4 all sports radio stations, & Albuquerque with 3, Chicago can certainly support 3 sports radio stations. Here is a link to a website that links many of the all sports radio stations in the US. http://streamingradioguide.com/streamin ... mat=Sports[url][/url] |

We did have 3 sports yakkers a few years back, including for a time your hero Coppock...naturally it failed miserably.
