It was awful radio. Yes it was a story. Yes they should have covered it. Glad you enjoyed hearing about it forever....MANY did not.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

They could do more topics to get people interested in calling in. A lot of the hosts don't let the callers talk much. They get two sentences and then click.

The social justice warrior nature of the station is also a turnoff. Boers and Bernstein went from a goofy show to "We hate the Penn State child rapists" for quite a long time. While it was an important issue in sports, it didn't have much to do with Chicago sports and it was total "change the station" radio. The problem with going full politics on the sports station is that 90+ percent of sports writers and sports talk show hosts are total liberals. Liberal sports talk radio is a turnoff for people who just want to listen to people talk about sports.

The Score and ESPN 1000 have the problem of basically having the same hosts for years on end. There should be new voices who can do sports talk radio other than Mac, Dan Bernstein, Mike Mulligan and Laurence Holmes. It's pretty sad when Mike North is still better than several hosts on the station.

Ultimately managing a radio station is hard work because it's hard to shuffle the deck. WGN Radio dumped a lot of hosts in the last ten years or so and it's hardly the same station. There's always a tendency to hire old hosts because the feeling is that the old hosts are a known quantity.

Dan has been on the Score for more than 20 years. How many black people in the city have been gunned down during that time? How much of his shows has he dedicated to that subject? Those people are within listening distance of his radio station. Do they not count too?

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

He told them to move.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

Exactly. What more do you want him to do?

It was the main discussion point of their show for over a year....EVERY DAY.
And yes.....Dan became an expert on Child Psychology, Law Enforcement, and an Attorney all within that year.

Ironically....the BEST person on the station at taking phone calls is the one who isn't a full time host...that's Hub. He can be arrogant and condescending, but I have always given him credit for being a good football analyst and I give him credit for still being caller-centric.

Radio stations should realize they are mostly replaceable by podcasts with little to no commercials. Other than rights to sports broadcasts and taking phone calls there is very little that a podcast can't replace.

Can't even rely on the old, "Heavenly Bodies" commercials you used to hear every break. Heard a Sally Beauty Supply commercial on the podcast the other day, maybe there has been an influx of female listeners?

The pepto bismol commercials that had the jingle that ended in “diarrhea” were rivaling the Kars for Kids in annoyance level.

They get plenty of callers the day after Bears games.

You face of the station openly stated that he hated those days.

But remember, he loves his listeners and appreciates their patronage...tears...sniff.

Not to mention his partner who hated spending 3 hours a week watching football. Boers and Bernstein toward the end of their partnership had a real contempt for the average listener.
