: Don't get too excited about Kerry Sayers joining 670 The SCORE full time just yet. The CBS Radio-owned sports talker & flagship of the Chicago White Sox Radio Network has been shorthanded all week, not just with update anchors but with hosts as well with Mike Mulligan, Brian Hanley, Dan McNeil & Dan Bernstein all off the very same week. I don't think we'll ever really know why Comcast SportsNet decided not to renew Kerry's contract, let alone why other owned & operated stations in this market haven't exactly given her a call about joining their team. I realize we are still very much in a recession, but folks, I'd rather watch Kerry do 3 minutes or so of sports than seeing bumbling, stumbling Mike Adamle & Daryl Hawks on NBC5, for examples, any day of the week! It's not just eye candy, but the likes of Kerry, CSN's Sarah Kustok & Gail Fischer, NBC5's Paula Faris & Peggy Kusinski, CBS2's Megan Mawicke & FOX32's Jill Carlson should be looked at on whether they know their sports as well as their male counterparts. I think they do, and it's very unfortunate that Kerry hasn't received more interest since CSN decided to let her go. Besides, with the exceptions of national ESPN Radio "SportsCenter" anchors Amy Laurence & Christine Leasy, there are NO FEMALES on either all-sports station in Chicago.
If Kerry Sayers joined ESPN & hosted ESPN Sports Saturday on ABC, i think it would boost ratings in Dallas on WFAA, not to mention KGO in S.F. as well as KXTV in Sacramento. Same would go for KABC in L.A., KGTV in San Diego, KTUL in Tulsa, KGUN in Tucson, KMGH in Denver, KIVI in Boise, KDNL in St. Louis, KSTP in the Twin Cities, WOI in Des Moines, WPLG in Miami, WFTS in Tampa, WJXX in Jacksonville, KEZI in Eugene, KTBS in Shreveport, WSYR in Syracuse, WHAM in Rochester, KAKE in Wichita, WPVI in Philly, WTAE in Pittsburgh, KTWO in Casper, WMTW in Portland, Me., WLS here in Chicago, KCRG in Cedar Rapids, WGNO in New Orleans, WBMA in Birmingham, KITV in Honolulu, KMBC in K.C., WWAY in Wilmington, N.C., WXLV in Winston-Salem, N.C., WCVB in Boston, WKPT in Kingsport, TN. KPVI in Pocatello, ID., KFBB in Helena, MT., ect.
