So Mac knew this was a done deal months ago. Cuz he hinted at this comeback.

I guess with Mannelly leaving he gave Zim one last chance to pay him what he wanted. Zim said no.

Now along with discussing stale classic rock, Mac gets to play it too.

This could be interesting. Will there be billboards?

Congrats to Mac - it was pretty clear he was tiring of the old sportseroo.

This also explains why he's been on facebook this week at an unGodly early hour. ;)

Pete McMurray will keep him awake - my new audio java.

Not unhappy with M&H, but happy to switch the station, there will be an effect on WSCR, "WIN" the Morning....lol

Agree,

Looks like THE DRIVE might want to get on board with this show they have?

I hope that their format is similar to Dahl and Meyer back in the day....some guy talk/sports talk and then a song or two...then back to callers and other topics. This could be really good.

AM drive time--most people only bother with the radio when in their cars nowadays. So only drive time hosts justify an sort of sizable salary.

WSCR could probably drop in a syndicated national show for mid-days and barely lose any ratings/revenue while reducing overhead.

Wonder if the M&M in the AM on FM show will be true drive time, 5-9, or if it's off-set to overlap into the mid-day time-slot at all.

It is. I think he followed Dahl at some point after that.


my god, i thought he went to LA or some shit. last time i heard him was 20 years ago. i always woke up to him, he was ALWAYS so positive and not stupid.

this could be huge.


Pete McMurray was on WCKG about 15 years ago when they had the Stern, Brandmeier, Buzz, Wendy, and Dahl. He's been here and there for years. He was at the Loop for a while, then i101, then WGN. He's just always somewhere.

Anyway, congrats to Mac! I think the Drive will be perfect for him. This will take them away from being a very music-first station, but that's okay. I'm sure Stroud and Skafish will still be as music-intensive as ever.

This show will do well (pull M&H listeners) only if baseball goes ass up and it's not football season.

Best of luck to Mac.

Pretty sure Downes was beating Mully & Hanley in mornings. All Mac has to do is keep that audience.

With McMurray out at WGN, does this open up evenings again for @thekapman?

I don't have a problem w/ M&H but will definitely give Mac a listen. I wonder what the breakdown will be in their talks; 50% sports? Entertainment and music w/ a dash of sports on the side?

I remember McMurray as a WCKG guy. I dont think he has any sports background. Will he just let Mac go on some rant and have nothign to contribute if they are talking Bulls, Bears, hawks, or whatever?

I don't think you have to worry about Mac talking Bulls.

I played against him there in a 6'1" and under basketball league. He would kick his heels up on a jumper to make it seem like he jumped higher.
