Ed O'Bradovich, whose longtime, irrepressible\u00a0partnership with the late Doug Buffone became \u201cmust-listen radio\u201d<\/a> for Bears fans on CBS Radio sports\/talk WSCR AM 670,<\/a> is switching broadcast teams this fall.<\/p>\n

Tribune Media news\/talk WGN AM 720 <\/a>has hired O'Bradovich to host a three-hour Bears postgame show with fellow ex-Bears Dan Hampton and Glen Kozlowski. After a preseason special in August, \u201cThe Hamp & O.B. Show with Glen Kozlowski\u201d will officially debut September 13 and follow every regular season game.<\/p>\n

O'Bradovich, 75, who was a fixture on the Bears defensive line from 1962 to 1971, was approached with the offer after former Bears teammate and Score broadcast partner Buffone died in April.\u00a0\u201cI cannot tell you how much I will miss him,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think O.B. really struggled because he loves doing it, but with the loss of Doug recently it was hard,\u201d said Todd Manley, vice president of programming and content at WGN. \u201cHe and Dan are tight, and they have a certain sense of rhythm together. So I think it\u2019s going to be an exciting show to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bears radio broadcasts continue to air on CBS Radio\u00a0WBBM AM 780 and WCFS FM 105.9.<\/a><\/p>\n

Officials of the Score declined to comment on their plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
