from Jim O'Donnell on the ratings at the Score
"Much more troublesome for de Castro and his superiors at Entercom HQ is the fade to super-snooze of the droning WSCR-AM. The wheezing sports white noiser hobbled home #21 (2.3) with only a stout showing by morning men Mike Mulligan and Brian Hanley (#6 overall in their window with an impressive 3.
keeping it above area college radio stations.
The steady decline at “The Score” has continued despite the demotion of the funereal Dan “Boo Boo” Bernstein from afternoons to middays, the advent of Cubs spring training and the surreal rehiring of Jekyl-and-Please-Hide flatulence lighter Dan McNeil.
Said one longtime CBS Radio programmer: “‘The Score’ is going backward at an amazing clip and you know Jim de Castro isn’t taking the fall over that. Still, he’s got to answer to some pretty sharp sports people at Entercom now and it’s simply a question of where he elects to direct their arrows. If the Cubs flatten out this season and all of the inadequacies at the station are exposed, Entercom is not going to wait for any great tries at self correction.”
Primary bullseye will likely be overwhelmed ops superweight Mitch “Rotunda” Rosen. Beyond Mulligan, Hanley and overnight man Les Grobstein, “Rotunda” has no relevant starting lineup, a bench that battles over the words “shallow” and “feeble” as its nugatorial password and insufficient contemporary instincts to pull the station out of its free fall.
One free pass Rotunda is certain to maintain is no mention of his travails by selective Chicago media medfly Bob Feder. Rotunda has long been a speed-dial beans spiller for the lip-smacking Feder."
