http://www.suntimes.com/business/lazare ... 10.article Mike North is joining Fox Sports Radio, the national radio network that’s part of Fox Sports. The longtime Chicago sports-talk figure will host his own show and remain in Chicago, according to a Fox Sports Radio spokeswoman, even though the network doesn’t have an outlet in Chicago. His show will be heard, though, on XM Satellite Rodeo. “I’ve always wanted to broadcast on a national network, so this is a dream come true,” North said. “To be heard in over 300 markets, as well as on XM Satellite Radio, is huge.” Details on North’s new role with the radio network are expected to be made public within two or three weeks, the spokeswoman said. News of North’s new gig comes just days after WBBM-Channel 2 announced it’s dropping his “Monsters & Money In the Morning,” the unconventional early-morning show that’s scheduled to end on Aug. 27. “Monsters” lasted just seven months. North and co-host Dan Jiggetts both left the show last week to take two weeks of vacation time. Two other co-hosts — Chicago Sun-Times financial columnist Terry Savage and Mike Hegedus — are expected to stay with “Monsters” until it ends. North got his big break in Chicago broadcasting when he and Dan Jiggetts hosted a show on sports talk WSCR-AM (670). North has won two Chicago Emmy Awards. He was the first radio broadcaster to ever be inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame. |

God damn that guy is a magician. Just incredible. I popped in here to post that I thought the insanely long, and bizarre, WGN Morning News might be a landing spot - but, no, Fox Sports! I love that he's hosting a "national show", but the network doesn't have an affiliate in the town where he will be recording. Mancow did that for awhile, right? I don't get it. I don't know who would take a look at his tapes (or listen to them) and feel like they need to GIVE him air time (let alone PAY him to fill it with ignorant nonsense and screaming predictions). Wow. |

Remember when North was basically solo in midday? That was so amazingly bad. |

Don't expect him to rely on just this job. Mike always likes to bundle side gigs together with his main source of income. I'd love to see local Fox hire him to start up North Side bits on sundays again. |
