Really though, college stations were getting higher ratings than The Game.

 

Because the talent is absolutely awful. Like objectively worse than the already bad lineups at WSCR and ESPN.

 

Dave Kaplan and David Haugh as your lead show, LOL

I had to stop listening, I just saw this tweet though

"Cutler stops talking"

I have no idea what he said, I wasn't listening. -Finfer

Someone just shoved the layoff letter in his hand and he's reading it on the air.

Do most people even get 87.7 on their dials? A lot of car radios start at 87.9 I believe.

[Banedon]

Today might get them their best ratings ever.

Some guy just called and told them he owns some kind of business and told them they'd always have jobs. The second host said "I'll work for less than him" and Julie DiCaro jumped in with "I'd do it for less than both and I'd do it topless."

I do like Julie. She's a pretty good twitter follow.

I do too. I felt terrible when she was talking about how the guys at the station will probably fall on their feet but most of the women will never work in sports again because of how hard it is for women in sports media.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Julie, do you want to do an update?

 

Not really.

 

OK.

Stealing this from someone on score670.com message boards:

 

If you missed the big reveal you can rewind the video cast of the show

2:12:58 is when Ben finds out

The Score has message boards?

 

There's depths to which even I won't sink.

It's actually a message board for all the stations. It's pretty bad.

Yeah, it's really, really brutal.

Ranting about how Trestman and Tucker outlasted them.

[Banedon]

I bailed on it.

[SouthSideRyan]

Never listened to them. Don't really know who they are. But damn is Quigley squirming when that news came across.

Noticed that too. All made sense when they revealed he already knew.

[Banedon]

Apparently they're ripping on Feder now, blaming him for reporting this before everyone was told, like that's his job.

[Flames24Rulz]

Unfortunately, those dopes Haugh & Kaplan won't be affected by this.

[Sammy Sofa]

I honestly had no idea that this station existed. A third sports station in town seems like it should have been an obviously terrible idea.

CSN has advertised the hell out of the Kap and Haugh rebroadcasts during Cubs games, Hawks games and Bulls games.

If anyone still cares, Deadspin posted a 10 minute video of the stream from the moment Finfer found out.

Just listened to it. I have a hard time blaming the Finfer guy for the way he reacted and I hope it doesn't hurt his prospects going forward. It had to take all the restraint he had to not just peace-out that place on the spot.

 

And he's apparently back on the air today.
