The Chicago radio sports talk wars will have an FM player come Monday afternoon.

That’s when WGN Radio will launch “The Game” on 87.7 FM, a new all-sports station aimed at moving the conversation about the Bears, the Bulls and Da Coach to the FM band.

Taking on WSCR-AM 670 (The Score) and WMVP-AM 1000, “The Game” will begin at 1:02 p.m. Monday, when the station switches from alternative rock to sports talk. The new station will be affiliated with the NBC Sports Radio network.

While the lineup card may change, Jonathon Brandmeier is set to run the morning show from 6 to 9 a.m. Longtime WGN-AM 720 sports talk host David Kaplan, who agreed to a multiyear deal in December, will shift to the FM station from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., co-hosting until noon with Chicago Tribune sports columnist David Haugh.

The rest of the day includes Howard Griffith and Alex Quigley from 1 to 3 p.m.; former ESPN 1000 teammates Harry Teinowitz and Spike Manton from 3 to 7 p.m.; Mark Carman from 7 to 10 p.m.; and NBC Sports Radio programming overnight.

Tribune Co.’s WGN-AM 720 announced plans Friday to operate WGWG-LP, technically a low-powered TV station that can be heard at 87.7 FM, through a lease with its owner, Los Angeles-based Venture Technologies Group. It became available after Cumulus Media took over operations last month of WLUP-FM 97.9 and WIQI-FM 101.1 from Merlin Media.

As part of the deal, the alternative rock format airing on 87.7 FM, which was being leased by Merlin, migrated back to its former home on 101.1 FM, along with the heritage WKQX call letters.

The agreement to lease 87.7 FM runs through Sept. 2015, coinciding with a Federal Communications Commission mandate ending all analog low power television service. WGN Radio should have more options by then.

Current FCC cross-ownership rules prohibit owning a newspaper and radio station in the same market. Tribune Co.’s co-ownership of WGN Radio and the Chicago Tribune predates that rule, and the planned spinoff of its newspaper business this year opens the door to future radio acquisitions in Chicago.

Sports talk is the 10th most popular radio format, with a 3.1 percent share of total listening in 2013, according to Nielsen. It also has the highest-educated and highest-income listeners of any format.

CBS Radio's WSCR, which pioneered the format in Chicago in 1992, is the market leader with a 2.4 share in the current Nielsen Audio ratings. ESPN Radio’s WMVP has a 1.6 share.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Howard Griffith does a fine job when I see him on TV,but never figured him for a steady radio gig. The other 3 I don't know from Adam. Never listened to MVP.

Who is Alex Quigley?

I-L-L for Howard Griffith, though. That show must be good.

NBC Sports overnight, what a bitch move. I bet a few of our board's more eccentric members (including yours truly) could do some real left-of-the-dial overnight radio. Let's make a demo tape.

someday when i get around to the whole "carpe diem" paradigm where i lose a bunch of weight and thus get the confidence requisite to shopping myself around as a product, i reckon i'd kill at this sort of thing. i had someone at the rainbo club (grade-A hipster bar @ division/damen where as of my last checking you could get a PBR/shot-of-johnnie-black for $6 or $6.50, which for that area = FUCKING PROPER) try to get me to do his radio show and if it worked out be a regular co-host, but i was far too transcendental to anchor down to someone else's product/shine so i remain an eventually-invaluable free ajent.

How is that line-up geared towards a "younger, smart fan"? Kaplan is a meatball and looks like a penis, Haugh hasn't had a thought provoking piece in the Trib, ever, and Tinowitz is a bumbling buffoon.

It's just stuff you say. No one steps out and says we're looking for an old, stupid demographic. Ron Gleason once said the Score was competing for ad dollars with WFMT and WBEZ.

After listening today, the reaction should be minimal, if any. This is webio radio territory.

was the SCORE blindsided by this? If i knew David Haugh was going to become a full time host on a competitors startup station I wouldnt be giving him the morning drive time duties less than 4 days before the startup starts

I'm listening a bit...

hey CH, i was just reading the previous posts upthread and this pirate analog tv station business has my curiosity piqued. do you have any examples of those stations? i still have the old gear and i'd love to find them, that is if i can get them out here in the skokie/evanston corridor.
