Less Bob from Skokie. agreed, except for "Who you crappin'?" Sure, there's some stinkers in there, but there's also a lot of solid gold take downs.

B&B have to take those calls in order to establish their total dominance over the people who hear these radio waves. Lets all forget that they consistently make fun of an old man who doesnt really pick up on the joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Trying to be a sports radio host has to suck unless you luck into the right job. There are so few jobs out there, the chances of you being able to stay in the city of your choice are slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a chance to start that route, and turned it down out of college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 deadspin has the studio video of Finfer and Quigley finding out they lost their jobs. Hard to believe that WGN f***ed that up as badly as they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part is the other guy just sitting in uncomfortable silence, along with a few attempts at redirecting the conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Finfer and McKnight got Northed. they should have known better I wouldnt say they got "Northed". They had maxed out at The Score. There was little room for advancement with their solidified lineup. I am very sure they knew it was a risk to jump, but in radio you need to take whatever chances you get. Sometimes those risks pay off (The Score's early years), sometimes they dont.

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 04:34 PM) Stay classy WGN! WGN has come a LONG way in the last 12 months. They've made some very positive changes in management and on-air talent. They just got busted with a leaker (probably some management person unhappy with the news) who told Feider before it was time. Leaks happen all the time, just rarely about an entire station getting shutdown and dozens of people fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was little room for advancement with their solidified lineup. I am very sure they knew it was a risk to jump, but in radio you need to take whatever chances you get. Sometimes those risks pay off (The Score's early years), sometimes they dont. Kaplan and Haugh continue their show and continue to get paid while the rest of the staff is left looking for jobs. That is the very definition of being northed. North kept his show, got paid, AND got it cross promoted on Comcast while everyone else's check bounced. Of course they knew there was risk in jumping, but that wasn't right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
