Dan McNeil is returning to WSCR-AM ("The Score") after nearly a nine-year absence.
The worst-kept secret in local sports-talk radio finally is official: Dan McNeil, cut loose by WSCR-AM (670) back in 2000, is returning to "the Score" after his long and successful run at WMVP-AM (1000) was abruptly ended in January. Starting June 15, McNeil will man the midday shift (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) as part of a lineup revamp that the Score hopes will help it rebound from a poor showing in the most recent ratings book.
