Former Chicago sports talk host Mike North takes on his former station with one of his own
He doesn’t have fancy offices in Chicago, a radio tower, or 50,000 watts of power, but he does have an internet webcast and very soon, his own sports talk lineup.
Crain’s Chicago Business is reporting former WSCR-AM 670 sports talk show host Mike North, who spent 16 years with the sports talker until his contract wasn’t renewed last year, is taking on terrestrial sports radio. He’s doing it with a daytime, daily internet sports talk lineup via his web stream on
ChicagoSportsWebio.com. North and his business partner have apparently been hiring staffers who formerly worked at the Score or rival “ESPN 1000” WMVP. Former “Score” staffer Jesse Rogers will be the website’s PD. The tentative lineup, expected to start in April, includes North’s “Monsters in the Morning” from 6-9am, followed by Chicago Tribune writer Teddy Greenstein and former WSCR host Matt Weber from 9-11am, Tim Doyle and WMVP’s Jonathan Hood from 11am-3pm, with boxing legend Ray “Boom-Boom” Mancini & WMVP’s Chet Coppock from 3-6pm.
