Hard to believe I've been listening for 30 years. How many of you have also been there since Day One?

I'll be surprised if it lasts another three.

stopped listening a few years ago when it got really gay. basically when north left

I've been listening since day 1. Granted school and work did not allow me to listen that much in the 90s compared to the last 10-15 years with the advent of podcasts. Love the way the station has moved away from the grab-ass, caller-driven shows of the 90s to what we see today. Here's looking forward to the next 30 years of the station.

Pretty sure SID (Score is doomed) was posting that same thought 20 years ago.

AM radio is not in the same place it was 20 years ago. Not even 10 years ago. Look at Canada, where there are hardly any AMs left.

What I can see happening when Mully hangs 'em up is some declaration that "middays are the new mornings" and a commitment to satellite programming, probably gambling-based, in morning drive. That would bring the Score in line with Marquee and NBCSC in terms of running gambling garbage in the morning in the absence of anything better. I wouldn't be surprised if they just end up limiting live/local to weekdays 9-6 in the near future, probably on an FM while Audacy runs 670 out of a broom closet.

I started on day one. Will never forget it because I was so happy to have an All sports talk radio station in this city. Remember when Chet blurted out that it wouldn't last and everything. I used to get jacked up by the 30 minute increase in airtime that would occur month to month back in the day.
Hard to think that I find it to be unlistenable now. Can't listen for more than 5 minutes now. Part of it is the nature of the station. Most of it is probably just me.

Hasn't Etercom err I mean Audacy already started to transition their sports radio in other markets to gambling?

Podcasts killed AM Radio and now with cars having smart features that give you access to podcasts, AM radio no longer has a purpose except for something like WBBM.

Yes and yes. WEEI-AM is all-gambling now, as I mentioned a while ago, and had been losing market share for years to WBZ and Barstool because everyone thought WEEI was just for cranky old New Englanders (as opposed to the sunny cosmopolitans of Barstool, I suppose). They moved the local programming to FM, but I think some of the broadcast day is satellite now.

I still believe in FM radio, but AM? Other than listening to Cardinals and Reds games at night for free, what's the point? It sounds like shit. That kind of matters in an auditory medium. It had a great run, but there's no place for low-fidelity broadcasting anymore, not when kids playing video games on Twitch are calling each other the n-word in crystal-clear lossless audio. At this point, you're better off selling the land the masts are on than trying to keep them running. That makes things interesting as far as Audacy goes, because either Entercom or CBS on its way out the door did exactly that for 780 and started piggybacking off 670's setup.

I'll be surprised if it lasts another three.

The days of a host on the score making 1 million plus are clearly gone.

So it’s $2 million plus? You’ll catch up to Laurence soon.

Happy New Year.

Not so sure.

They are still paying the Cubs 8 figures for their broadcast rights.
