Chicago Radio: WSCR's Ron Coomer Gets Contract Extension

Entercom and The Chicago Cubs have announced that Chicago's WSCR 670 AM The Score will remain the home of radio color analyst Ron Coomer through a multiyear contract extension. Coomer will continue his coverage of the team alongside play-by-play announcer Pat Hughes on Chicago's top-ranked sports station.

"Ron is one of the most talented analysts in baseball and we are honored to have him on our team at The Score," said Jimmy de Castro, Entercom Chicago's Senior Vice President and Market Manager. "Ron brings the passion and success he had as former MLB All-Star to the airwaves of Cubs baseball and hits a homerun with Cubs fans."

"Ron has endeared himself to the Cubs fan base with his thoughtful analysis of the game, humor and welcoming interactions with our fans," said Crane Kenney, president of business operations, Chicago Cubs. "We're grateful he will continue alongside Pat Hughes to provide an enjoyable and insightful radio broadcast."

Coomer, 51, first joined the Cubs Radio Network in December of 2013, succeeding Keith Moreland on WGN 720. He has been with Entercom (formerly CBS Radio) since 2015 when the Cubs transitioned to WBBM Radio.

In 2016, he was part of history as the Cubs broke a century-long drought to become World Series Champions. Prior to joining the Cubs radio booth, Coomer served as an in-studio analyst, on-field reporter and occasional color commentator for the Twins on Fox Sports North Television.
