Former CBS RADIO Sports WSCR-A (670 THE SCORE) and ESPN Sports WMVP-A (ESPN 1000)/CHICAGO host DAN MCNEIL is returning with a show for podcast network RADIO MISFITS. "DAN MCNEIL: UNSUPERVISED" is scheduled for a TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th debut and will initially post twice weekly.
MCNEIL, who was last heard on CHICAGO radio as co-host of mornings with PETE MCMURRAY on HUBBARD Classic Rock WDRV (THE DRIVE)/CHICAGO in 2015-16, said, “The timing couldn’t be better. The BEARS are going to drip with controversy and consternation, and it’s time for the CUBS to put their big-boy pants on to defend their title. Also, the retooled BLACKHAWKS are going to camp. Perfect.... 'UNSUPERVISED' is going to be me unbridled. I’ll have guests, but it’s gonna be from-the-toes, unfiltered sports commentary, augmented by splashes of other stuff guys talk about when they’re on the golf course.”
Recalling his year in mornings at the DRIVE, MCNEIL said, "I don’t regret my decision to take a whack at it. The result was a disaster, but I’ll never regret following my heart. Ultimately, it’s just f___n’ radio.... As much as anything, I’ve rediscovered how much I love producing content, especially when football or the ROLLING STONES are front and center. The time off has been great, but it’s time to get back on the microphone before my NFL bag bursts.”
