I wonder if the Score brings back any of these traitors. I would tell Hoge and Finfer to fuck off. Not as bad as the webio situation, but this should be a lesson about jumping ship to start up stations. Give them time to grow, and then make a move.


Finfer has been "growing" for what, 10 years now? Hoge came out of nowhere.
You make it seem like it was a lateral move for the same money, but it really wasn't. Plus with the WGN and Tribune ties, it would seem like a reasonable opportunity especially if they were getting a raise.


Yeah. I don't think the Score is upset with them leaving. Zim and Mitch don't give a shit. The Score will always have guys to replace their backups and producers. Drinky has been there forever and they don't think much of him.

Will they hire them back? Well, they're at full staff right now so somebody would have to leave and I'm sure they'd consider it. Or, they hire somebody exactly like them. Finfers, Hogs, Goffs, drinkys, Rangers, JoeOs, Larrys are a dime a dozen.

they will all be competing with Mac for any job opening. I think they will have an advantage, because
they won't be demanding afternoon drive time and a huge salary.

I don't think he ever left the Score since coming back with Mac. Though maybe now that he's just an engineer, he's a freelancer. I've heard the Zerangs on just about every station.

You can see why Ray is so upset. It's like he went to a gay bathhouse and lied down naked on his stomach and somebody fucked him up the ass. It's not his fault. They greased him up. Slammed him with a fucking cock. How's he supposed to know?

We'll be working to get it online soon.

So, P-Matt, Ben F. said on air that you tweeted or texted him the news.

Did you, or did he actually come here and see it?


No he didn't say that.

Julie read my text then saw the article. Ben said he saw it on his twitter feed.

What difference does it make?

I just rewound the live feed at the time to see when Finfer got the news. You could see Finfer lean over to read it. And like others have said, his partner looked nervous cuz he knew and Finfer didn't. I'm sure the podcast is on their website. Don't know the website. Google THE GAME 87.7

Yeah, it was, wasn't it? Finfer is stunned, then sad, then angry. That other guy is just twitchy. Then began the weird comments from Finfer.

That was Radio history. And Peoria Matt made it happen. Cuz if he doesn't tell Finfer, it's likely he doesn't know until he's off the air.

I don't see any option on their site for watching anything. I don't want to listen to Northwestern

Sporting news picked up the story. So did a lot of outlets if you google it.

They quoted Finfer on what he said once THE GREAT Peoria Matt informed him. Sporting News didn't give Peoria Matt credit. Bitches.

http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2014-11-20/chicago-sports-radio-host-fired-twitter-on-air-bears-quigs-finfer

I'll bet you deadspin will have the audio of it later.

They mentioned Peoria Matt and his text message on the air.

"We're doing a live show here," Finfer said on the air. "And to be told this way, it's really a letdown. We're getting screwed on this one ... We just found out on Twitter a half hour ago that the station is being taken off the air. We were not told about this ahead of time.

"We didn't know anything about it," Finfer said. "We were coming back from a break and saw on Twitter from Robert Feder that the station is being taken off the air. Can you believe that? A lot of really talented people were hired to work at this station and found out through Twitter they were fire. Nothing from the bosses."

"You would assume you tell the employees before the media," Finfer said on-air. "You assume they have the common courtesy to let some hosts on the air know that something might be coming so you don't find out when you're coming back from a commercial break. I've never heard of such a thing. I've heard of of some pretty crappy things in this business. You talk to radio people you'll hear awful stories about the way they've been treated. I'm not sure I've ever heard anything like this. Who would have though Marc Trestman would make it past mid-season and not us?"

I appreciate the candidness and independence of thought shown by Finfer. Good qualities for a radio talk show host in my opinion.

Yeah. I guess. That was his first rant. He then softened after a commercial break as though somebody got to him. Or he thought to himself, "Shit, I'd like to hook on at WGN 720 if they'll have me. Better stop wang whipping my superiors" Then all of the sudden Robert Feder became the enemy out of no where. For what? Ben thought it was mean to report the story because he didn't know about it. Still amazes me how a media person doesn't know how media works.

Yeah, but he did a complete 180 and became a corporate stooge just as Beardown describes in the post above. We all heard it.

So did we ever learn why Peoria Matt fired Quigs and Finfer?

So is this it for Jimmy DeCastro? So far he took his best host off the air and moved him to the internet, brought in Brandmeier, moved Brandmeier to the internet, started a sports talk station, lost the Cubs, shut down the sports talk station, and then fired Garry and Brandmeier. Shit, they might be better off bringing back Pig Virus, and he's dead.

Some sort of axe to grind from what I'm told. He'll never tell. So we'll never know.

Did Larz refer to Feder as "a local blogger" again?

@ChetCoppock: radio station #TheGame is dead on arrival. feel bad for the guys who invested their futures. the concept was a disaster @Hollywood_Yates

@jmueller_857: @ChetCoppock @Hollywood_Yates it's a shame though. Wanted a station to compete with Bernstein and co.

@ChetCoppock: @jmueller_857 @Hollywood_Yates Bernstein's a whore

@Schmutzie_: @ChetCoppock That time at ND when a guy yelled out in the crowd "Hey Chet you suck!"- that was me. Did you say whore? http://t.co/rKOv2pcGEj

-------

Chet-
A concept that sadly went nowhere fast... I feel sorry for the guys who invested their future in "the Game." They never had a prayer. Sadly, legendary broadcaster Jimmy de Castro struck out. A shame


@ChetCoppock: @RamblinGrimace has the brain of a snail. has to be a full blown lightweight.



@ChetCoppock: How could a broadcaster w/ the genius of #JimmydeCastro believe the #Game - d.o.a. - could possibly work or generate rev? @MarkPotash

Look at Schmutzie running in tout suite to defend Bernstein's honor.
