I listen to a Cubs game on the radio on occasion. But I am also old enough to remember Harry Carry doing Cardinals games.

I can't believe that the target demo for WSCR also listens to Cubs radio broadcasts.

I NEVER listen to the Score. I listen to Cubs radio broadcasts a couple of times a week. No promos that I've ever heard during those broadcasts have made me want to give any WSCR program another attempt.

Putrid Kaplan is still better than any Score show.


And Wanderer and yourself are a prime example of why it was a bad deal. This year, next year and on and on. Most Cubs listeners turn off the Score when the game is over. So they paid $10M for folks who are not and will not stay around to sample their product.

Combine this with radio listeners and revenues struggling to stay static and it quickly becomes clear why Rod got axed.

I don't disagree. I'm not a psycho like CH when it comes to this stuff, but can't WSCR get enough revenue just from ads and sponsors during the actual broadcasts and pre/post

And I should say that once in a blue moon I'll listen to Hit and Run if my car radio was still lined up to 670 due to a previous day's broadcast or something. But everything else is PTFB.
