Iwritecode Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Guess I'll have to check my radio on my way home to see how well that station comes in. I just cancelled my Sirius XM subscription yesterday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The Score will be unlistenable when Cubs move to 670. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant blame them. The Cubs are a good team worth talking about. If you talk about the Sox it is just a b****ing fest at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheDriversSeat Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Crain's Chicago Business says this is not confirmed: While that may still prove to be accurate, Cumulus Media CEO Lewis Dickey says not so fast. He confirms that Cumulus has been bidding for the Sox broadcasts, as have other stations, but he said he doesn't have a signed agreement yet. http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/201...s-am-890-report I really thought that WGN were the front-runners based on comments made 1 year ago by the President of WGN: “We’re terrific partners with Jerry, we have the utmost respect for him and we would love to work a financial arrangement that was great for us both,” de Castro said. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-06...home-pat-hughes .

South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Glad they're leaving the SCORE. Now I'll never have to listen to that station again. Everything on that station is un-listenable except the Sox games anyway. It's basically a cesspool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheDriversSeat Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Now both the White Sox and Cumulus Media (owner of WLS Radio) are denying any deal. "There is no deal with WLS," Boyer told the Daily Herald. "Our rights are up after this season, but there is no imminent deal. There is certainly interest in our rights from all parties listed and we are doing our due diligence with all interested parties, but I'm not sure where today's blog post came from. "Understandable, plausible argument, guess. (Feder) never reached out to anyone here seeking comment." http://www.dailyherald.com/article/2015062...orts/150629594/ While that may still prove to be accurate, Cumulus Media CEO Lewis Dickey says not so fast.

When my commute was 2 hours long it was an absolute necessity. Now it's less than 10 minutes. On weekends I'm usually driving my other vehicle that never had XM to begin with. I can always stream stuff from my phone through the built-in bluetooth in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
