Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes<\/p><\/div>\n

Longtime Chicago sports talk hosts Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes are teaming up to co-host a new four-hour midday show on WSCR 670-AM,<\/a> the Audacy sports\/talk station announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

Starting Monday, \u201cBernstein and Holmes\u201d will air from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays. As part of the new schedule, the morning show with Mike Mulligan and David Haugh will move into the 9 a.m. hour, airing from 5:30 to 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur all-star Chicago lineup improves with Mully and Haugh extending later into the morning and two teammates who have worked together for 20-plus years finally sharing a microphone on a regular basis,\u201d Mitch Rosen, operations director and brand manager of The Score, said in a statement. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited for this updated lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

The realignment was prompted by the move<\/a> in April of Bernstein's former midday partner, Leila Rahimi, to a full-time sports position at NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5. Rahimi will continue to make weekly \u201cLeila Wednesday\u201d appearances on \u201cBernstein and Holmes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bernstein most recently has hosted solo from 9 a.m. to noon, followed by Holmes solo from noon to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn't be more excited to be a part of this show,\" Bernstein was quoted as saying. \u201cLaurence and I have worked closely together at The Score going back to our days on Belmont Avenue, and this new partnership promises to bring out the very best of what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Holmes: \u201cI\u2019ve been mostly a solo host for the last 15 years, and now I\u2019m looking forward to working with Dan. We\u2019ve got a great opportunity to challenge each other and have a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bernstein, a native of north suburban Deerfield, joined The Score as an anchor and reporter in 1995. He's been a full-time host since he began an 18-year partnership with Terry Boers in 1999. Boers retired in 2017.<\/p>\n

Holmes, who's been on the radio since he started a talk show at south suburban Homewood-Flossmoor High School at age 16, joined The Score as part-time producer for the late overnight host Les Grobstein in 1998. He's been hosting the two-hour midday show since 2019.<\/p>\n

In the latest Nielsen Audio survey, The Score ranked 26th in middays with a 1.3 percent share and cumulative weekly audience of 181,400.<\/p>\n

Here is the text of Rosen\u2019s email to staff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good afternoon,<\/em><\/p>\n

We are so excited to share some exciting Score news with everyone. Starting Monday we will launch a new Score lineup and pair two of our great hosts in a new extended daypart.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starting Monday two longtime hosts at the Score, Laurence Holmes and Dan Bernstein, will form a new partnership. Listen beginning Monday for \u201cThe Bernstein and Holmes Show\u201d from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The dynamic combination of these great hosts will bring great opinions, terrific interviews, and awesome entertainment to this newly created Score show.<\/em><\/p>\n

The creation of this new midday show gives us the opportunity to extend our awesome morning show, \u201cMully and Haugh,\u201d for an additional hour \u2013 til 10 a.m.<\/em><\/p>\n

Parkins and Spiegel will continue their powerhouse show from 2 to 6 p.m., and Gabe Ramirez continues to handle nights, starting at 6 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n

One other important note, Leila Rahimi remains a vital talent to our Score team and she will continue on \"Leila Wednesdays\" with Dan and Laurence. <\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s comment of the day:<\/a> Michael Donovan:<\/strong>\u00a0I'm amazed that in 2022 WLS is still using the exact same logo that landed on my desk for approval in 1974. Not that I don't have tremendous affection for that logo \u2014 after all it served the Big 89 well during some great years with Lujack, Sirott, Landecker, Little Tommy, Winston, et al. But its clunky charm might be a sign of what's ailing a great signal in a great town.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
