Dan McNeil Scores New Radio Show

We had an idea that this would happen when Dan McNeil was canned by ESPN 1000 (WMVP) back in January. And now it's official: Danny Mac will return home to the Score AM 670. Beginning June 15, the former host of ESPN radio's afternoon "Mac, Jurko and Harry Show" will take the air at The Score solo from 9am - 1pm on his new "The Danny Mac Show." McNeil, who earned about $600,000 in his last contract, likely took a big pay cut to get back on the radio. "Everybody takes a haircut in '09," McNeil said.

With his new mid-day slot, Danny Mac displaces a number of hosts on The Score. "Hampton & Holmes,"which featured Bears Hall of Famer Dan Hampton and Laurence Holmes, airs from 10am - noon. Mike Murphy fills the air from noon - 2 pm. All three affected hosts will remain with the station in other roles.
