Audacy Sports “670 The Score” WSCR Chicago is revising its midday lineup starting Monday, June 20.
Current 9am-12pm co-host Dan Bernstein and 12-2pm host Laurence Holmes will now team together from 10am to 12pm for “The Bernstein & Holmes Show”. Leila Rahimi, who currently teams with Bernstein, will join the pair on Wednesdays while moving to a full-time role at WMAQ-TV. The current setup had been in place since January 2021 when Rahimi joined Bernstein to fill the slot that had been filled by Connor McKnight until his exit in April 2020.
Bernstein has been with WSCR since 1995 and co-hosted afternoons prior to moving into the late morning slot in March 2018. Holmes has been with WSCR since 1998 and began hosting the 12-2pm show in 2019. He previously also hosted a weekend show on CBS Sports Radio and has worked at multiple Chicago television stations.
The Mully & Haugh Show in mornings will expand from 5:30am-9am to run until 10am.
The station also officially notes that former “B96” WBBM-FM morning host Gabe Ramirez is the new evening host. Ramirez remained with Audacy after his morning show came to an end earlier this year.

“I’ve been mostly a solo host for the last 15 years, and now I’m looking forward to working with Dan,” Holmes said. “We’ve got a great opportunity to challenge each other and have a lot of fun.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this show,” Bernstein said. “Laurence and I have worked closely together at The Score going back to our days on Belmont Avenue, and this new partnership promises to bring out the very best of what we do.”
