You are probably right. Maybe he traded that for a "family car" now.

I honest to God don't believe Jason or anything that goes on at that station anymore. It wouldn't shock me in the least if that was a fake call to drum up news. How many times has Julie posted on something about an interaction with someone that it's completely obvious she's lying? But Jason is really telling the truth here about all the times he's been held down or been pulled over after a basketball game in the burbs? Seriously if the Cubs weren't on that station I would remove it from my radio presets.

I teared up while listening to this.

Does anyone know if Jason will be nominated for any awards for this segment?

The Score would never do anything like that, would they? Well, other than Murph's "Kenny from LaGrange Park" bit.....

Besides, I thought this was a sports station?

Hmmm...where have we seen this before?

It's also worth noting their "trending this way that quarter" line. The "#1 last book" quip was most certainly referencing the station's overall share, and "trending that way" likely means they're still behind where it counts: in the key demo when compared to WMVP, as the last quarterly breakdown showed.

But still, that's a good burn, Score Social Media Guy.

670 plays fast and loose with their bragging of the books during baseball season. They are beating 1000 during what is considered the afternoon drive, but neglect to say those numbers are boosted heavily by Cubs day games. The real story comes to light again once Cubs baseball ends and W&S kicks their asses both overall and in the demo (which is what advertisers care about)

Whatever boost they receive from Cubs still doesn't make up for the $10 million in rights they pay each year.

They aren't playing loose. They are #1. They can say that.

If ESPN gets higher ratings in the fall can I say "They just have a former NFL player!"?

Here's the thing, though: When they were getting ratings in the low-2's in the early Spring, people from the station said "overall share doesn't matter, it's what you do in the demo that counts". Which is true for the talk radio business. But now that we know that they've lost, and lost rather soundly, to WMVP in the first quarter's books in the key demo from 2-6 PM, now we're hearing about how they're "#1 in [overall share] ratings". That's pretty much the definition of playing "fast and loose" with metrics.

Didn't B&G also win the key demo from 1-6?

WMVP won the 2-6p time slot in the key demo by a wide margin, WSCR won 1-6p by a tenth of a share.

So, they can say they were #1.

Can WMVP also say they were #1?

Scoreboard.

Ok, so WMVP's drive time show is also #1.

In the time slot they occupy they are. Why is this so difficult?

B&G are #1 in the timeslot they are in. They can say they are #1.

Well, #1 for the first hour of their timeslot.

...and total.
