Why is he leaving? I've always enjoyed the show.
Contract not renewed? More National ESPN shows taking over?

Are Levine and Kurkjian going to run off to an exotic island together?

Chicago news: Bruce Levine leaving ESPN 1000; could be headed to WSCRby Ed Sherman

September 28, 2013 by admin Looks like Bruce Levine is on the move. He posted this tweet this morning.

I haven’t reached Levine, but word is he is parting ways with ESPN 1000.

Don’t be surprised if Levine moves down the dial to WSCR-AM 670. Stay tuned.

No clue why The Score would want him. He needs to retire.

Nice to see Silvy exerting his will to get rid of another piece of dead weight at ESPN1000.

There's almost no spot for Levine at WSCR with Schuster reporting on almost every Cubs/Sox game and McKnight/Rozner on "Hit and Run," but we'll see.

Have a feeling if Levine joins the Score B&B will have a field day once he starts reporting, etc.

I remember when Bruce used to try to bully Silvy. Then when Silvy started flexing some muscle, Bruce became his bitch.

To me, Bruce was always angry & bitter. Bitter about what, god knows, but he always sounded that way.

No thanks.

Levine would be perfect with Kaplan. They could try to outdouche each other. By cracky.

Bruce will be with the Score by end of October. He will be the baseball reporter and have weekly show. Mitch Rosen has been after him for a long time. He will be the Scores Hub Arkush for baseball.

I don't mind Bruce Levine on Talking Baseball. If he has a similar show on 670, I'd listen.

I just love some good, old-fashioned baseball talk.


He is the Hub Arkush of baseball.

I was just thinking that the Score didn't have nearly enough lisping reporters on its airwave.

Was Connor McKnight doing the baseball show with Rosner? It's really annoying hearing a 25 year old tell you about how baseball works.

Bruce is one of the worst radio talents on air in Chicago, IMO. He's horrible at talking, he isn't funny and he hardly gets any scoops now that Hendry is gone. I can't see why the Score would want to hire him.

Score hasn't had a good hire since the brought Mac back (no brainer). Before that ????

Mitch hires according to how cheap you are and how much you kiss his ass.
