I did not listen, this is secondhand. No one commented here, not really that earth shattering I guess.

Audacy broke away B96 during a B96 commercial break. 104.3 HD2 is off. The HD1 is many seconds out of sync from the FM Analog and the AM feed. Hope people are not wavering between HD and Analog while listening to the FM. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Back to life.....

Listening to the new 104.3 FM The SCORE now as I type this. It sounds terrific and former JAMS midday host Rick Party is still The SCORE's "Big Voice Guy".

They actually brought in John Vincent to set the tone. Cubs' fans at Wrigley Field & Bulls' fans at United Center have heard Vincent sing the National Anthem before games at the 2 venues. Vincent did it to mark The SCORE's debut on the FM side this morning:

I too noticed the five second delay.

WSCR, WSCR-FM HD1 and HD2 Chicago. While there isn't truly an AM suffix, the average listener would never know by the legal ID that The Score is also heard on a 50,000 watt AM. Another example of the amount of importance Audacy thinks the 670 signal has. And rightly so in 2026.
