CBS Radio is making a lot of cuts.

matty was a cubs beat reporter for the 2012 season if you recall... he didnt do that job well either... so i guess they thought they had to make him do updates to get their money spent out of him

Legacy media like print and terrestrial radio are on a cakewalk-death-spiral where every year their revenues decrease so to keep going they have to lay off staff and ask their existing employees to do more.

Why not just ask him? or someone else around the office?

Uh-oh.

I would assume he gets extra pay.

Though as I recall, Bernstein held out of writing for the site for a while until he Monetized Everyblog. I don't blame him; you shouldn't have to write that much for free.

. Savage told Crain’s Wrapports LLC chairman Michael Ferro called her column “very expensive” and that management told her she could stay on if she found a new advertiser for the column. Savage said she reached out to a couple banks, “but I was uncomfortable with that” because of the perceived conflicts of interest.

Reducing the frequency of Steinberg’s column comes after an April 26 article about an exotic automobile time share company in Palatine that let Steinberg borrow a Bentley to drive to a party in Sycamore with his wife. Sun-Times Editor-in-chief Jim Kirk believed veered too much into advertorial. Kirk and Steinberg had a heated discussion about the column, and Steinberg told Crain’s Kirk "didn't like that and I respect that and I won't do that anymore.”

Why not just ask him? or someone else around the office?

Just a guess here.

Drink got married, had a baby and moved from his down town apartment to Libertyville. The wife probably told drinky's cracker ass she wants him home at nights and weekends. No more chasing this talk show bullshit. She probably knows he sucks at it too. Plus the hike to the city from Libertyville isn't really worth what Mitch throws at producers for these shows.

To make up for the extra money he was making doing some night and weekend shows, drink probably begged Mitch to give him a few update shifts on Mac's show. Then it just bleeds into producing B&B. So it's a regular 9-6 gig and he's back home at normal hours.

Once again, just a guess.

Such as when he repeatedly pronounced UCLA in the literal sense.

You really don't think there is another drinky out there that can answer the phones, tell bad jokes, say stupid shit and speak poorly? C'mon.
