It seems like he announces this every year. So he's only doing 1 year deals.

I don't get the purpose of him. Nights are 80% taken up by games at THE SCORE. Can't you just get dumb producers to fill in the other 20%? Or just rerun the best of what happened on the other shows for those half hours before Cubs games.

Per his IG, he was thisclose to leaving. Whew, so many offers. Does he still do the morning 120show?

"The last 2 weeks have been exhausting". I'm sure, as he's been travelling all over the US w/his wife. Cry me a river, pud.

He's just waiting for Jim Rose to retire or die, so he can make his move.

Lawrence played his cards beautifully by declining an offer to co-host middays with Spiegel and holding out for evening slot.

Sir played hard to get and was lavishly rewarded.

This is really pure Sir.

He had many interesting offers (including television) but nothing could match continuing to be the host of an often preempted evening radio show. I'm sure Mitch took care of him on salary, but seriously, Les has more ears hear his voice over the course of a year than Sir.

His show is off the air 3 nights per week from April-September for baseball. It is off 20-30 nights for De Paul and Illinois from October-February. It is off Monday and Thursday from September to January for NFL. Then there are the various Bears All Assholes, Cubs Weekly and Dave Leito shows...

But hey, he really hits it out of the park in March!

350k/year was the last contract.

Has to be at least 375 now.

The average salary of radio announcers is $19.19, or $39,910 yearly as of 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hosts may work a variety of hours and shifts and perform additional duties, such as interviewing guests, researching information and even broadcasting live events.

He's in the 3rd largest market in the country. $39K is probably what some hilljack in Lexington KY makes per year.
