WMVP-AM (1000) cuts loose Dan McNeil

I remember not long ago listening to the "Boers and Bernstein" show on The Score and was mildly surprised when both hosts were asked by a caller about their competitor.

Terry Boers, who once co-hosted a show with Dan McNeil, didn't hesitate in calling Mac the best radio sports broadcaster in Chicago. He was emphatic.

Bernstein echoed the sentiments.

Now McNeil no longer is with WMVP-AM (1000).

The station decided not to pick up the fifth and final year of his contract. His departure is effective immediately.

Carmen DeFalco will sit in with Jurko and Harry, at least in the short term.

Mac and I have been friends for nearly 25 years. I've seen him cut loose before, and he's always landed on his feet.

I expect the same this time.
