As for a new FM sports radio station in Chicago, I hope it happens. They could pattern themselves after the Score in the early 1990's & could damn near hire all of the original WSCR hosts!
Seriously though, there would be plenty of sports radio guys lined up for gigs on a new sports station. With the tremendous growth in the sports radio format, & cities like St. Louis with 4 all sports radio stations, & Albuquerque with 3, Chicago can certainly support 3 sports radio stations.
We did have 3 sports yakkers a few years back, including for a time your hero Coppock...naturally it failed miserably.
Guys, you are correct. Before they moved their programming to 670 The SCORE a few years ago for overnights, long before Les Grobstein rejoined the CBS Radio-owned sports talker and White Sox flagship, there was a Sporting News Radio outlet in Chicago at WSCR's original frequency. It was at 820 AM during the day just like the original SCORE. That station featured Chet Coppock on weekends, along with the likes of Peter Brown, Jay Mariotti, Tim Brando and "Papa" Joe Chevalier. It was known as One-on-One Sports before becoming SNR, and it was based in Northbrook before relocating to Los Angeles about 2 years ago. You are also correct about the ratings for One-on-One/Sporting News...Non-existent.
