WMVP-AM (1000) cuts loose McNeil
January 16, 2009
BY ROMAN MODROWSKI
WMVP-AM (1000) has decided not to pick up the fifth and final year of the contract for popular talk show host Dan McNeil, who has hosted the "Mac, Jurko & Harry Show."
McNeil's departure is effective immediately.
"We're looking to try some new things in the afternoon," station general manager Jim Pastor said. "And given the economic climate, we feel it's the right time to do it.
"We're looking to try some new things in the afternoon," station general manager Jim Pastor said. "And given the economic climate, we feel it's the right time to do it. "Mac's played a big part in ESPN 1000's success, and today I thanked him for that and wished him well in the future."
Pastor said Carmen DeFalco will sit in with John Jurkovic and Harry Teinowitz.
The final year of McNeil's contract begins in May, and the station had a window in which to make this move. McNeil, who also writes a column for the Sun-Times and suntimes.com, had no comment.
