That's another thing I know for sure. But I've often suggested that to SCORE management before these bad times. Why waste another salary on a partner when Bernstein can carry it?

Which he's done. You don't need anybody else just repeating what he says or nodding their head. McDoink, Goff and Boers did that. So it was always pointless to have him with a partner.

If he needs somebody to talk to, he can just grab one of his producers. Which I've heard him do. Other then that, load him up with guests.

I think a lot of radio stations are gonna realize it's more economical to have one guy do a show rather than two.

They won't give Bernstein a new partner in good times. Pretty sure of that.

Would like to see them try a partner who doesn't agree with him.

Murph and Bernstien would make great radio.

It’d actually be somewhat interesting if they intentionally set up the show to be adversarial. Meaning, both the hosts know going in that there is an expectation that each would generally take the opposite side of the issue. Now we wouldn’t want fake opinions, but rather, the selected partner would be more of an old school meat ball. He would get overly optimistic about the Bears win totals, talk about a player’s batting average, have lots of gambling thoughts, suggest lopsided trades for local teams, and the like. Ideally he would have politically right leaning thoughts.

It’d probably bomb, but at least it wouldn’t be Dan and his pet parrot.

It seems like most radio careers flicker out by about mid 50s. Bernstein is 50. Tick tok.

whatever happens he's made his money. he should be financially secure for the next 20 years.

but the other guys who are producers and other stints in radio that are near minimum wage, they should go back to school or think about learning a different skill.

Bring in a couple producers with thoughts and some balls then.

I really would like a McNeil and Bernstein show.

Thats the same as Bernstein solo.

theyre not much better than bartenders... you see "broadcast radio helper" on a resume and it's like 'ok that guy useless'

They're the two smartest guys on the station. If they're both fully engaged it would be good radio.

So you want to bring Mike North back?

If North stuck to ONLY SPORTS I would be for giving him a chance. When he sticks to sports he has a unique point of view from all the other cookie cutter radio hosts in the biz.

Missed it. I posted this opinion years ago.

If so, then why didn’t you bump that thread?

Oh you’re lazy. Yeah that makes a lot of sense.

When I'm dead and gone all of my posts will be researched by journalism students. I'll be known as the best Chicago media critic of all time.

I won't take any pride in that. Because white women will have hated me during this time. But at least it's something.

you's a thing knowing motherfucker, beardown!

Cool.

You're welcome for the white women.

I think you're wrong with Bernstein, though. He's got that polarizing thing that will keep him relevant until he wants to retire. So mid 60sl

McNeil has proven your theory wrong. He's pushing 60 and just got a new contract. You're right in general, Good Dolphin. They get the young and cheap guys in radio for the most part. Especially for local radio.

Mac and Bernstein are the exceptions, though. Boers lasted until 65 I think. He's another one.

So there are exceptions.

It's going to go:
4) Gary Deeb
3) Robert Feder
2) Larz
1) Beardown

Correct. Maybe Feder in front of Larz. But as long as I'm number one I don't care who is behind me.

Always been bizarre to me that folks listen to solo hosts. I’ve never heard anyone good at it. Solo radio is always horrendous.
