Comcast SportsNet Chicago's weekday chat show, "SportsTalk Live," will be presenting a special week of shows which will feature eleven Chicago radio personalities from six local radio stations. "SportsTalk Live" will have its "Radio Week" next week, April 7th-11th.

"SportsTalk Live" is hosted by CSN Chicago's David Kaplan. As most Chicagoans know, Kaplan is also a top radio personality who has been with WGN Radio since April 1995, after making a name for himself at WMVP-AM in 1993-1994. He is currently heard on WGN Radio's new sports station, WGWG-LP/The Game 87.7.

Periodically, Kaplan invites Chicago radio personalities who know about sports to come on to "SportsTalk Live" (and its predecessor "Chicago Tribune Live") to talk about current events in sports and more. WTMX-FM.101.9 The Mix's Eric Ferguson is a frequent guest, as are hosts/reporters from Chicago sports talk radio stations.

Each day next week, Kaplan will host radio personalities in what CSN Chicago has dubbed "Radio Week." The guests come from both sports talk radio and music radio, some of whom have not appeared on the show before.

Here are the guest panelists and the schedule for next week's "SportsTalk Live" shows:

Monday, April 7th, 5:30pm: Dougie Stylz and Justin Roman -- WBBM-FM/B96 afternoon hosts

Tuesday, April 8th, 5:30pm: Mike "Mully" Mulligan, Brian Hanley, and Mark Grote -- WSCR-AM/670 The Score morning hosts

Wednesday, April 9th, 5:30pm: Carmen DeFalco and John "Jurko" Jurkovic -- WMVP-AM/ESPN 1000 midday hosts

Thursday, April 10th, 5:30pm: David Haugh and Ben Finfer -- WGWG-LP/The Game 87.7

Friday, April 11th, 5:00pm*: Joe Soto -- WVAZ-FM/V103 evening show co-host, and Leon Rogers -- WGCI-FM/107.5 WGCI morning show co-host
(*Note: Fridays show will start at 5:00pm, 30 minutes earlier than usual, due to live sports programming on the station.)

Thursday's show is especially noteworthy for a pair of reasons. David Kaplan will be joined by David Haugh and Ben Finer, both of whom co-host the late morning show on WGWG-LP with Kaplan. (Finfer only co-hosts the final hour of the show. He also co-hosts the station's midday show.) This will make Thursday's show a visual version of what is heard on the radio airwaves each weekday morning. More importantly, David Haugh is also a sports writer/columnist for the Chicago Tribune. Haugh's appearance on SportsTalk Live marks the very first time a Chicago Tribune newspaper employee has appeared on that television show since it dropped its sponsorship of the show in February 2013. This is what forced the name change of the program from "Chicago Tribune Live" to SportsTalk Live."

As always, viewers to "SportsTalk Live" are encouraged to interact with the host and guests via Twitter by using the hashtag #SportsTalkChi. Many of the fan tweets will be posted on screen for all to see.
