Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - Larz: CSN and NBC-5 merging sports departments

With both station's parent companies now owned & operated by the Comcast Corporation, it was only a matter of time before the merging of staff & resources started. It will begin to be publicly noticed very soon, first on WMAQ-TV's weekend news & sportscasts.

Comcast SportsNet reporter Sarah Kustok will now anchor the sports segment on Friday night newscasts. CSN Chicago anchor Pat Boyle will now take over the Sunday night sports wrap-up show, "Sports Sunday Live."

...

With the sad death of Daryl Hawks and the exit of Paula Faris from NBC5's sports department, both in the last year, a lack of quality there has been perceived by many. WMAQ-TV promoted Chicago sports reporting veteran Mike Adamle to full-time and has been using WSCR-AM/670 The Score's Laurence Holmes for some sports anchor work to try and fill the gaps, but audience complaints and lackluster response about NBC5's sports staff persist.

I told you Larry Holmes wasn't getting the full time NBC job. He can thank Mitch for still being on the Score. If Mitch Rosen wasn't his former agent he would be where old Score hosts who get fired go. A small town in the US talking sports.

Looks like more opportunities for LoHo at Comcast. He's going to own this town soon.

Beardown, WhiteAndProud, and Big Fan will have a field day with that...

Maybe they can shell out some money to John Tesh to use his old NBA on NBC theme for Bulls games on Comcast. One can only dream...

Are you related to Elmhurst Steve?

Oh. I didn't see this. No need to answer my question in the other thread. I figured it out.
