honest question: what happens to Rongey? Does he have a job only tied to the WhiteSox? Or does he get reassigned at WSCR?

Not sure about what paywall a few of you are referencing ... I don't pay anyone anything to read him and I clicked on the link and it loaded just fine. Learn about AdBlock or something, cretins.

Sox are a couple years away from being on 820 or 1160.

I noticed with Feder's stuff that if you try to access it directly you get the pay wall but if you click his links from Twitter that he posts that you can read it with no problem.

I don't know if the Sox have final say. At WBBM they said it was Ron Gleason's call and he got Grote for the Cubs. But if Brooks Boyer is tight with Ranger, I'm sure he would highly recommend Ranger.

But the WLS PD probably has friends that he would want to hook up for this gig.

After looking up 890, I'm a huge fan of this move.

Anything that will reduce the amount Chicagoans are subject to hearing Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage, the better.

It wasn't really a secret that WBBM AM780 was just a 1 year placeholder for the Cubs until they could move to AM670. Score hosts were pretty critical of the Sox after the Cubs inked the cross platform deal with CBS. The Score cant wait to shed themselves of the Sox in favor of the Cubs. I gotta believe that Grote remains the Cubs pre and post guy and Rongey is gone. Good fucking riddance to both the Sox and Ranger.

Will Dan Bernstein still insist that Ed Farmer is a better play-by-play announcer than Pat Hughes is?

Yes. He said that Pat Hughes is "too homespun" and too concerned with broadcasting for old women in Iowa, or something to that effect, while Farmer is "more real" and "gets it" and so forth. He once described the Ed Farmer/Steve Stone pairing as "going to graduate school for baseball." I found it preposterous.

To be fair, this was when Dan was still in the tank for the Sox, something unimaginable today.

Ay yi yi......

How about graduate school for weird?

I'm sure Dan has evolved from this opinion.

Is WLS AM890 obligated to take Farmer and DJ as Sox announcers?

You've never heard of WLS?!? It was one of the biggest radio stations in America in its top 40 days! Larry Lujack, Tommy Edwards, the Grobber, briefly Steve & Garry. Even as a talk station, they were a force in the mid/late '90s.

Maybe Kirkwood just didn't know where to focus his Rush Limbaugh hate locally.

There were Roe and Garry billboards all over the place in the late '90s. I don't know how someone couldn't have been cognizant of WLS. I didn't spend my childhood listening to WBBM (AM, that is; you bet I was rockin' Party Radio B96), but I knew that it existed.

Feeder taking shots from the Rozner school of I told you so.

"When news of the White Sox deal first broke here June 23, it drew denials from both sides. Brooks Boyer, White Sox senior vice president of sales and marketing, told the Daily Herald: “There is no deal with WLS. . . . I’m not sure where today’s blog post came from.” Lewis Dickey, president and CEO of Cumulus Media, told Crain’s Chicago Business: “I’ve had head fakes before. You never know until it’s signed.” One amateur blogger called it an “erroneous report” that was “completely false” and “devoid of any true current facts.”"

I love this Feder/Larz feud.

From Larz' blog:

Quote:

Today's announcement properly corrects a premature and error-filled blog that came out a month ago claiming the White Sox were moving to WLS-AM in a six-year deal that was to be announced in mid-June. This erroneous blog caused Brooks Boyer to issue strong denials and make numerous calls to CBS Radio Chicago executives, letting them know that blog was completely false and fabricated, and that no deal was yet in place. Even Cumulus Media President and CEO Lew Dickey issued a strong denial.

While it has been widely speculated on this website and elsewhere for a very long time that the White Sox would be moving to WLS-AM, that particular blog last month stating "facts" was devoid of any true current facts at that time.

Get'em Larz!!
