Panerista Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ May 1, 2017 -> 01:38 PM) Terminate a bunch of people so that you can hire the highest priced FA writer out there. But unlike most of the onair talent, Woj is a proven commodity who makes their other "insiders" look like a joke in comparison. They could layoff their entire NBA staff and keep Woj and be a better company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 ESPN takes the most fees per cable subscriber...more than HBO, Showtime, etc. $7 per subscriber. That's a TON! My guess is the cable companies are starting to squeeze them a bit. Just an FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard something on the radio last week that cable/satellite subs have dropped from something like 110 million to 80 million. ESPN is still making tons of revenue, but they've also got a bunch of really expensive broadcast rights contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 http://www.insideradio.com/people_moves/ma...ee01fa52dd.html 16 years... CBS Radio sports “The Score” WSCR (670) Chicago producer/anchor Matt Abbatacola leaves the station after 16 years. According to Chicago media reporter Robert Feder, Abbatacola was passed over earlier this year for the co-host position with Dan Bernstein when Terry Boers retired in January. That position went to midday host Jason Goff who is now paired with Bernstein in afternoons. “The Score” operations manager Mitch Rosen confirmed Abbatacola’s exit telling Feder, “I wish him nothing but the best.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Surprising considering he recently went into detail publicly that he didn't have any hard feelings over it and that he admittedly wasnt good enough to be a full time host. Maybe he was just saying that because that's what he was told and he was saying it with snark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't surprising. Golic is clearly very unhappy with the direction they're going. Honestly, it will be a shame to see Greeny reduced to another ESPN talking head. I feel like in Mike and Mike he's better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Anybody else friends with Danny Mac on Facebook? He will accept almost anyone's request. Anyway he was at a wedding somewhere recently and he, Jurko and Harry took a photo together. ESPN 1000 has been horrible since they broke up. Really miss that show.

Harry Teinowitz has lost SO much weight Growing up, that was the best show definitely. Also loved Carmen/Silvy, as they were young guys (at the time) and brought a really nice Sox/Cubs balance along with good cultural references. Haven't listened to sports radio on the radio in so long. Listen to interviews on my phone through the podcast app, but that's it.

The Beast Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I recently listened to ESPN radio 1000 in the afternoon on the TuneIn radio app and noticed how bad some of those shows are from a learning standpoint compared to Bernstein and Goff. I do think that B&G gets old after some time and even to an extent the morning show on 670, but that might be because of the fact it is the Cubs flagship station and heading the Go Cubs Go song and World Series highlights gets old after several hours of listening. I do like the humor on the afternoon show on AM 1000 and their transition is better. I grew up with McNeil, Jurko and Harry and loved them, the show that was on before them in that slot with Lou Connelis (who is unbearable on Fox now) and also enjoyed McNeil and Spiegel as well.

Yeah, that was the last sports show I can think of in Chicago that didn't have an adversarial feel, or one of the guys just making up reasons to argue. It really seemed like three dudes just shooting the breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
