Terry Boers, one of Chicago\u2019s most enduring and outspoken sports radio personalities, made it official Tuesday: He\u2019s hanging it up in January after 25 years at CBS Radio sports\/talk WSCR AM 670.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAs I write this, I'm 66 years old and I\u2019m going to retire, leaving behind one of the greatest jobs you can have, talking sports or movies or TV or life for five hours a day on a station I couldn\u2019t be prouder of,\u201d Boers wrote in a lengthy blog post<\/a> titled \u201cIt's Time To Say Goodbye.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe day of my final show will be Jan. 5, 2017, which will make my tenure at The Score exactly 25 years and three\u00a0days,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Although he\u2019s been out much of the year dealing with serious illness and recovering from two surgeries, it was important to Boers and his bosses that he be present to celebrate the station\u2019s 25th anniversary on January 2. As a sports columnist for the Sun-Times<\/a> in 1992, Boers was one of the original hosts to launch the sports\/talk format on a 5,000-watt daytime frequency at 820 AM.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a time to celebrate the 25-plus year career of Terry Boers \u2014 a legend, a day one employee and a forefather of The Score,\u201d said program director Mitch Rosen.<\/p>\n

Rosen said a search is underway for a successor to Boers alongside Dan Bernstein, his on-air partner since 1999. \u201cThe Boers & Bernstein Show,\u201d airing from 1 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, is billed as Chicago\u2019s longest running sports show. \u201cTerry can never be replaced, but I\u2019m confident I will add a host that listeners will love and interact with through all of our platforms,\u201d Rosen said.<\/p>\n

In the latest Nielsen Audio survey, The Score ranked fifth in afternoons with a 4.4 percent share and cumulative weekly audience of 647,200.<\/p>\n
