Chicago's Mike North joins FSR

[livingfruitvirus]

No details yet in terms of timeslot or if it's weekdays or weekends, but it was announced that he's coming to the network. The main network too, so it's not a Zakk and Jack style alternate feed.

Is CC really hiring Mike for a Chicago all sports station? Is this guy really ready for a national stage?

So is someone else departing FSR? We know only about Farnham and Jacobs so far.

North was a co-host on the morning "news"/sports show on CBS' WBBM-TV in Chicago...WBBM just announced last week that it's canceling that show, and going back to a more traditional morning news program. Pretty good that North lined up a new gig in pretty short notice.

I wish North or someone would replace PMS.

And it would suck to live in Indy now that Zakk and Jack can't talk all local.

Think North's the replacement for Bruce Jacobs?

North is terrible nut he would be an improvement over PMS, Then again a Screaming 3 year old having a tantrum would be better than any of those jokers on FSR

As You travel around the country listening to sportsradio, one thing is very clear. Some guys may be popular locally, but would never play nationally. They either have thick accents (ny guys especially) or have little depth beyond their local teams.
Mike North is one of those guys. He feels Chicago which is exactly why he works in that city and why he will never transcend it.

Well said. As someone with no particular connection to Chicago, he's unlistenable.

Fox Sports Radio. Wouldn't everyone on this part of the forum already know or guess that?
