<\/a> Laurence Holmes<\/p><\/div>\n

Laurence Holmes, the veteran Chicago sportscaster and evening host at Entercom sports\/talk WSCR 670-AM,<\/a>\u00a0is moving up to a new afternoon shift at The Score.<\/p>\n

Starting March 28, Holmes will host solo from noon to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. He\u2019ll also host a daily podcast for Radio.com<\/a> to be posted after 2 p.m. Holmes\u2019s current shift \u2014 from 6 to 10 p.m. weeknights \u2014 is subject to frequent preemptions due to play-by-play sports and other programming commitments.<\/p>\n

The Score 670<\/p><\/div>\n

To accommodate the new daytime show, middays with Dan Bernstein and Connor McKnight will be reduced one hour (airing from 9 a.m. to noon), and afternoons with Dan McNeil and Danny Parkins will be reduced one hour (airing from 2 to 6 p.m.).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis really expands our Score brand and highlights Laurence\u2019s tremendous strength of interviewing different personalities,\u201d said Mitch Rosen, operations director of The Score. \u201cI really feel what the expansion does is make The Score brand bigger and better, while giving our consumers more options over the air and through all digital platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Ostrowski, weekday morning update anchor and host of \u201cEarly Odds\u201d Saturday mornings on The Score, will turn up from 6 to 10 p.m. when play-by-play doesn't interfere. Julie DiCaro will continue from 10 p.m. to midnight, and Les Grobstein will continue overnights.<\/p>\n

Holmes, 43, has been on the radio since he started a talk show at Homewood-Flossmoor High School at age 16. He joined The Score as a part-time producer for Grobstein's show in 1998 and has held a variety of roles since then while also pursuing television work and teaching at his alma mater, DePaul University.<\/p>\n

The Score\u2019s new weekday program schedule \u2014 including the two-hour shift Holmes will occupy \u2014 matches that of ESPN Radio rival sports\/talk WMVP 1000-AM. Rosen said that\u2019s purely coincidental.<\/p>\n

In the latest Nielsen Audio survey The Score tied for 13th place with a 3.0 percent audience share. ESPN 1000 tied for 27th with a 1.0 share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
