Chicago Radio: WSCR Adds Cubs' Segment

CBS RADIO Chicago’s WSCR 670 AM The Score has announced a new segment to the “Bernstein and Goff Show” featuring the Chicago Cubs’ reigning National League MVP Kris Bryant and former Cy Young award winner Jake Arrieta.  

The players join The Score’s current roster of Cubs players and team personnel who each add their take on the action on and off the field including Cubs Manager Joe Maddon who joins Speigel & Parkins each Tuesday at Noon, Pitching Coach Chris Bosio heard on Mully & Hanley every Wednesday at 8:00 am and an ongoing rotation of other Cubs players and baseball contributors.

“It’s an extreme honor to welcome a league MVP and a recent Cy Young award winner to the Score team, and it’s beyond a grand slam for the Score brand,” said WSCR Program Director, Mitch Rosen.  “The content Kris and Jake will add to the Bernstein and Goff show will bring the audience into the clubhouse, on the field, and other places the average fan can’t experience.”

Bryant and Arrieta will rotate weekly on “Bernstein and Goff” with days and times varying due to game schedule and Arrieta’s pitching schedule.  Beginning April 10, Kris Bryant will join the show bi-weekly with Jake Arrieta scheduled to join the show on the alternating weeks. During the MLB All-Star Break, both player appearances will be on hiatus. Arrieta will host back-to-back weeks on August 28 and September 4.

Rachel's Fans Upset Over Thursday's Pre-emption

Fans of Rachel Maddow have expressed their disgust at 'sexist' NBC after the anchor was replaced on the show by Brian Williams who referred to the US missiles against Syria as 'beautiful'. According to the Daily Mail , Williams, the breaking news anchor for MSNBC, appeared during Maddow's 9pm slot when news broke that the US military fired more than 50 missiles at the al-Shayrat base in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack on civilians. Furious viewers accused the network of 'sexism' and said Maddow was more than competent to cover the news without any help from Williams.

All the other major networks did the same last night as well.
