His dedication to reaching fewer and fewer listeners is commendable.

Outstanding. Now I won't accidentally hear him when I listen to WGN.

So is he joining or taking over for Carmen & Jurko?

Morning show instead of Mike and Mike? Whatever it is, I won't listen often.

As first reported on CRM yesterday, WGN cancels "Kap & Haugh Show." The station releases both hosts. Kaplan joining WMVP-AM. Details coming.

Yep, unless Kap is taking over the Mike & Mike slot (don't see that happening) this might not be a good thing for Jurko.

Not necessarily, as it could be Kap, Carm and Jurko. KCJ.

They weren't on 720, but I'm assuming WGN produced the show for Comcast SportsNet after the Game went off the air.

Very well could be or maybe they want to start fresh in that time slot with a whole new roster.

Guessing Kap will probably just join Carmen & Jurko.

Kap for a Cubs run is a good get. Guessing not a no compete deal and he can talk to others while this is brewing.

I assume he keeps the CTL gig at night and has the Cubs pre and post....

They do shut down stuff in a hurry at WGN....lol

He wouldn't be able to do the Jokers Wild though.

Kap and Co sounds like a lot of Finfer.

yeah, with Finfer as the sub when Kap is doing Cubs duties. Though I suppose that'd only be the first few weeks.

It's just weird. Maybe he wants the lower workload. Or had no choice.

This seems like slowly pushing Carm and Jurko out. They demoted them from afternoons. Now Cap pushes them down. Once their contracts end look for Cap to have 4 hours with them being out the door.

The 9 AM- 10 Am is a key get for Adam D.! Nice work....

I didn't care much for Kap teamed with Haugh whom I found very boring. I have switched on Kap though. I will have no problem putting him on at noon. Good luck to him.

I don't necessarily dislike Finfer, but he really seems to love the sound of his own voice and talks too much. The last few weeks when he was filling in for various vacationing hosts it seemed like very time I tuned in AM1000, regardless of time, I heard his voice.

Curious cause I really don't know...Carmen & Jurko ratings any good at all?

I don't know. I wouldn't think they do huge numbers. I've been wondering about "Spiegel & Goff" vs. "Carm & Jurko" since Goff got the gig. But I've yet to see Feder or anybody else give the ratings for this battle. But Carm is as vanilla and boring as any sports talker this city has ever seen.

This is another great reason for me to not listen to AM 1000.

At least Waddle won't be the most insufferable prick on the air at that station anymore.

Post subject:  Re: Kaplan to AM 1000

Does Jurko only put forth marginally more effort than Boers, or do I not listen enough to get the full scope of his contributions?

Post subject:  Re: Kaplan to AM 1000

I like Kap. I would regularly tune into his 5:30 show. I also listened to him on the Game. I will be listening to his ESPN 1000 show because B&B sucks hard.

He has grown on me.
