WMVP-AM/ESPN 1000 has re-signed longtime host Carmen DeFalco to a multi-year deal, the station confirmed today. Per ESPN policy, exact terms are not being disclosed, but one source says it could be a four-year deal.

With the recent exit of Harry Teinowitz, the show is now called simply "Carmen and Jurko." Starting next Monday, the show moves to its new midday time slot of 10:00am-2:00pm.

Co-host John "Jurko" Jurkovic remains under contract through this summer.

Shut up jerk.

There has to be a belief that Jurk will stay. Otherwise it makes no sense to sign Carm again.

It makes all the sense in the world. Carmen, Silvy and Waddle will be doing the afternoon drive.

They will run middays from the mother nipple rather than get trounced by Mac, Jurko and Spiegel.

Other than the afternoon show, the entire ESPN 1000 package will be national except for a brief smattering of Hood, Fred and Levine from time to time.

racist...

Carmen has become a member of the Chicago Media Nothings Club. Guys who just kind of exist in this city taking up sports media jobs till an apocalypse wipes them from the planet (thought I doubt even Armageddeon could eradicate the human cockroach that is Lou Canellis). They are robotic, lack original thought, and jock sniff all the athletes. Dave Kaplan is their leader.

Jim Memolo brings the donuts.

That's not true.

Carmen torched Rose when the USA Today story about him possibly not playing came out.

Carmen's hairline isn't doing all that hot, these days.

I did think about them adding Carmen to the afternoon, but it would be stupid to do it in the summer and have another lineup shuffle. Face it pal, Jurko is gonna stay with ESPN.

Once Jurko's contract is up, he'll be back on the former Afternoon Saloon w/ his ol' pal Silvy & the (possibly) soon to be departed "Little" Tommy Waddle. BTW, since MJH was the "Afternoon Saloon", will Waddle & Silvy name their show "The Afternoon Sundae Bar"?

Jurko isn't going anywhere. He's not dumb enough to sign a recession contract at a fatpants type salary.

Carmen is good... but that's all he is. He really doesn't bring much to the table. He's similar to what Opie is for Opie and Anthony (they even have a similar voice). No real substance or good content but he'll keep the flow going.
