How do you feel about this? I can't blame them if 670 dropped them (probably), and no one else would pick them up (possibly). But honestly this kind of makes me sick that I am going to have to listen to 890. It was great that the Illini were getting exposure on the top sports talk channel in town where the Cubs and Bulls are broadcasted. Instead now we are on a channel that broadcasts right-wing propoganda and went bankrupt just last year cancelling deals with the Bulls and White Sox.
Also, 670 seems to have a great relationship with Northwestern. It'd be a really bad look if they turn right around and sign NU. Then its pretty clear we were dumped for the program up north.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (Feb. 4, 2019) – The University of Illinois announced today that WLS-AM 890 is the university's newest radio affiliate and will carry all football and men's basketball games, as well as the seasonal coaches' shows, through the 2023-24 season.
The five-year agreement, which officially kicks off with the 2019 football season, marks a first for the Fighting Illini and Cumulus Media-owned WLS AM 890. During football, fans will be able to catch the weekly radio show with Head Coach Lovie Smith and Head Coach Brad Underwood during men's basketball season.
