Chicago Radio: WSCR Suspends Dan Bernstein Over Tweet

WSCR 670 AM The Score has suspended talk host Dan Bernstein after he posted a tasteless tweet (since removed) about the Blackhawks and a local TV reporter.

The Score radio host took an untimely shot at the Blackhawks and WLS-TV7 reporter Cheryl Scott as the city launched into a Stanley Cup celebration on Monday night.

Bernstein was referencing unsubstantiated rumors. Several people came to Scott’s defense, including co-worker Jerry Taft.

Producer Matt Abbatacola filled in for Bernstein on Wednesday and said the 20-year Score veteran would be back on the air on Thursday with partner Terry Boers. The station offered no explanation about Bernstein’s whereabouts on Wednesday.

The Sun-Times report Bernstein had his hand slapped in March for a sexist tweet about Comcast SportsNet’s Aiyana Cristal. Though he never removed that tweet, Bernstein did offer an on-air apology.
