Julie Swieca was an update anchor and occasional host at 670 AM The SCORE when WSCR was up the radio dial at 820 AM & 1160 AM before settling in at 670 AM in 2000. Swieca is no longer in sports talk radio to my knowledge. If I'm not mistaken, Swieca has transitioned from sports talk to cooking. A far cry from taking calls from Andrew in Dunning to complain about the Bears' offense live on the radio. I made up that name just to give an example of an average sports talk radio caller.

The SCORE did have another Julie on their payroll, and that's Julie DiCaro. She also did sports updates as well as host a weekend sports talk host with Maggie Hendricks, circa 2019. BOTH DiCaro & Hendricks were laid off in 2020 as a result of budget cuts at WSCR's parent company Audacy due to the pandemic.

As for Peggy Kusinski (Correct spelling), I do remember when WMVP initially became ESPN Radio 1000 AM in 1998, she did host a weekend show called "The Point After". That was long before Kusinski joined NBC 5 and left the station to start up "Peggy & Dionne", a weekend sports talk show that currently airs on ESPN 1000 with ABC 7 weekend sports anchor Dionne Miller.

As for Leila Rahimi, we still don't know why she left NBC 5 last October. I don't think NBC 5 bosses and Rahimi have fully stated why she left her duties as the station's lead sports anchor. Ruthie Polinsky left NBC 5 shortly thereafter and she's now at CHSN.

In the nation's 3rd largest media market, there still aren't that many women doing sports on either TV or radio. That much I do know.
