Several of you picked up on my hints back in the early winter. There are many reasons why the midday shift made the most sense for me and for the Score. Here are a few.

1. Large audience. The PPMs (personal people meters), which began a bit less than a year ago, are favoring middays. It seems more people consume midday radio than the industry realized. I like the idea of a large audience. God bless the internet.

2. Best match-up. I keep hearing people say Waddle and Silvy have the best show in a sports format. There has been no shyness on my part on how much I enjoy their show, both while I was there and since I left in January. The winter ratings indicate the show is strong... W&S were stronger than any major daypart on both sports yakkers. I don't -- we don't -- want to get in the ring with a tomato can. Let's lace 'em up against the so-called "best." "It's on!" -- bigfan, june 3, 2009.

3. Lifestyle. When you do afternoons, you have your entire morning to prepare, but also play golf, exercise, go shopping, pants around the ankles, whatever you can squeeze in before getting downtown by 12:30 or so. It's a great arrangement, single or married. But... I've done it to death. Since January of 1992. "A little change never hurt anybody... a little variety?" -- R.P. McMurphy to Nurse Ratchet when he wanted to watch Game 1 of the 1963 World Series in "Cuckoo's Nest." I'm up around 6 most days anyway. The work day concluding at 2ish affords the opportunity to do all those other things before dinner... including golf... and now I have more options, like attending my youngest son's sporting events, Sox and Cubs afternoon games, seeing my wife, family and friends and much more "traditional" hours, not 9:00 on a weeknight.

4. Lineup "balance." In the Score's best days.... two very different shows operated in midday and afternoon drive. They complimented each other well. When Mike and Dan gave Terry and me the baton, we were in good shape. It was a damn solid block between 10a and 6p. While the shows were unique, there was a common fraternity house feel to both. And the transitions were a big part of the station's positive image. This new show will be a befitting table setter to a strong afternoon show and B&B have that. And the opportunity for them to shift the balance of power in PM drive is right there.

Why 5 hours? Or 4 and the crosstalk? Seems a bit long.

That extra hour should go to Murph. That way both yourself & B&B would be forced to do crossover with him plucked right between your shows.

NOW THAT'S RADIO!

I'm guessing it helps the station maintain its budgetary parameters.

Said butch dyke, etcs., did a protest rally in support of their show.

So thought of the day: "your" show is whacked, be it H&H, Murph, CJH. Would you organize support rally? Expect people to show up? It's an interesting thought...

I'm surprised Punch & Judy haven't found a home. Great place would be on the webio, with simulcast on another of Harvey Wells' stations.

I'm just glad to have Mac back on the blower at any time.

I think he was about to internally combust if he didn't have an audience for all that has gone on as of late.

I could just see him setting up camp at Highland High School with a pair of headphones on in the bleachers talking sports.

"Hey Kid, down in front, I'm trying to do a show here!"...

It's good to have Da Ma Ne back at any time slot.

I'll bet by the second ratings book that Dan has equalled W & S numbers.

Easy on that wager. You probably would have bet that B&B would have killed the Afternoon Saloon numbers.

WWN - actually I am quite shocked that they haven't yet. Perhaps they needed a better built in audience and crossover from someone that knows what the hell they are doing???

Let's see what June 15th brings!

Im happy that Mac has a supporter in Dave but Daves over the topness for Mac is starting to concern me and I hope Dave does not kidnap our fearless radio host and becomes Dave's house guest one day I can see Dave doing this.

5. Much easier to stomach losing to W&S in the ratings every quarter than to be looking up at CJ&H.

Stu, what a pathetic and infantile little rant.

You sound like you are still in 8th grade, for the 20th year.

You really remind me of a movie character, let me see, ah yes,

See , the doucheness in you bleeds out in every post and I 'm really starting to think you're a women whose husband gives you not an ounce of attention so you come here so you can get men to chat with you. The funny thing about you're last post is that every one of you're posts is a pathetic little rant about how you lust for male radio hosts.So let's figure on you showing up at a remote and giving us a peek under you're dress to prove my theory that you're really a broad seeking Mac's attention or mine for that matter as I seem to be the only person that gives you the time of day .
