Interest in the fortunes of the Bears helped propel Chicago\u2019s leading sports\/talk station into the top 10 among morning radio shows in the latest monthly ratings released Monday.<\/p>\n

Nielsen Audio figures for September 11 to October 8 showed Mike Mulligan and Brian Hanley, the morning team on CBS Radio WSCR AM 670, in seventh place among all listeners \u2014 up from 14th the previous month. <\/a>It was the Score's first top-10 showing since May.<\/p>\n

Mitch Rosen, program director of the Score, attributed the increase to audience interest in Bears talk and to the enduring popularity of the \u201cMully & Hanley\u201d brand.<\/p>\n

Among men between 25 and 54, the Score finished second in mornings, behind only Raul Molinar, Sylvia del Valle and Andres Maldonado of Univision Radio Spanish-language WOJO FM 105.1, which also posted considerable gains.<\/p>\n

Again No. 1 in mornings overall were Felicia Middlebrooks and Pat Cassidy of CBS Radio all-news WBBM AM 780\/WCFS FM 105.9, radio flagship of the Bears. October 1 marked Middlebrooks\u2019 30th anniversary as morning co-anchor at WBBM Newsradio.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at Chicago\u2019s top 10 morning shows as measured by Nielsen Audio among all listeners age 6 and older from 6 to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday, followed by average share of audience (with previous month\u2019s share in parentheses).<\/p>\n
