| Harry Teinowitz |
A memo was immediately sent out to the rest of the station's
staff following the release of Teinowitz. As provided to CRM, that memo said:
"At 6pm this evening Harry Teinowitz signed off air for
the last time at ESPN Chicago. Throughout the many years that Harry has been
with us, he has served in many different roles and has helped to establish the
ESPN brand in Chicago .
Harry’s contributions will be felt for years to come in
every department at ESPN Chicago. We wish him nothing but the best in his
future endeavors."
In confirming the news to CRM, ESPN 1000 Program Director
Adam Delevitt echoed that sentiment, stating "We all wish him the best,
and appreciate all his contributions to the station."
WMVP-AM's afternoon show ratings have been a big
disappointment for the station, as ratings have crept downward rather
consistently.
In the most recent Arbitron radio ratings for the January
period, WMVP-AM's ratings were tied for 26th place with only a 1.5 share in the
all ages numbers. In comparison, the station's competitor, WSCR-AM was #12 with
a 3.1 share. Most importantly, in the station's target demographic of Men
25-54, WMVP-AM was down to #17 with a 2.6 share, while WSCR-AM was #1 with a
6.5 share. A change to the afternoon line-up was inevitable.
