Your observation is how I feel. There’s something missing from that midday slot. Maybe it’s the lack of local ties they have to Chicago or that they lack what the original personalities had.

For me it’s two things, they browbeat the listeners with “we already talked about this” and there is a lot of out of town stupid.  Midday is a rudderless ship right now.

I hope some listeners left and their ratings suffered when Bernstein was canned. I listen to podcasts and select Score segments once in a blue moon if they are interesting. The midday show is kind of lame.

Bernstein was really rough at the end. He sounds so much better again, which may be second wind PLUS he had really bad partner matches.

I think the partner match was the hardest thing.  Nobody is Terry, and Bernstein doesn’t defer to many people like he deferred to Terry.  So, if something happened he didn’t like, you had to deal with Bernsteins attitude whereas Terry would basically tell him to stop pouting and let’s go

that's true, I thought maybe the problem was he was the bigger 'levity'/goof in the pairings, and he just needed a bigger goof. But probably is more the deference/respect he had for Boers. Not sure who would have that pull since dan's kinda the old man now.
