On-air slur sidelines McNeil
By Teddy Greenstein and Tribune Sports Media Reporter
June 28, 2007

Dan McNeil’s summer vacation started earlier than planned.
McNeil, the lead voice on WMVP-AM’s highly rated “Mac, Jurko\&\Harry” afternoon show, was set to take a two-week break beginning Monday.
But several sources confirmed McNeil didn’t appear on Wednesday’s show aspart of a three-day suspension he received for calling Lissa Druss Christman,an executive producer at Comcast SportsNet, a “bitch” on the air.
Christman declined comment, but CSN officials released a statement saying:”We are disappointed by the inappropriate comments and personal attacks madeby Dan McNeil against one of our employees. … We hope and expect thatWMVP is taking appropriate disciplinary action.”
Efforts to reach WMVP general manager Jim Pastor for comment wereunsuccessful, but sources say station officials believe McNeil crossed theline with his remark.
Given his past transgressions – he served a 19-day suspension last Juneafter an on-air spat with co-host Harry Teinowitz – observers wonder whetherMcNeil, who declined comment, could be finished at the station.
While WSCR-AM 670 gives its hosts leeway in name-calling, ESPN-ownedstations such as WMVP have stricter on-air standards.
Sources say Tuesday’s incident occurred after the “Mac, Jurko\&\Harry” hosts praised CSN for showing the Cubs fan who ran on the field towardpitcher Bob Howry during Monday’s game. The hosts debated whether WGN-Ch. 9would have shown the incident.
A producer at WMVP called CSN to ask whether the stations use the samecameramen. Christman declined to answer and referred the call to another CSNemployee.
WMVP then got the answer from a WGN producer. (The stations use differentcrews.)
Sources say McNeil and Christman have a history so it was not shockingMcNeil would insult her. But his word choice drew the ire of Christman andWMVP officials.
Lissa Druss Christman is married to Jim Christman, media services managerof the Bears. A source said Christman’s Bears affiliation did not influenceWMVP’s decision to punish McNeil.
