Golfers on Golf Radio hosts Ed Stevenson-Bill Berger and Rory Spears, All return for 2020.

It’s that time of year, or maybe it has been for a few weeks already, but due to the virus, our radio season has been delayed.

But tomorrow at 10 Am, Golfers on Golf Radio is first on the tee, to start it’s 30th season, and continues being Chicago’s longest running golf radio show.

We have a new home for the year ahead, under the same management umbrella as in recent years. With management selling off one of their 6 stations, things got shuffled around a bit. Our old time slot on WNDZ-AM 750 has a new show on it, so we had a few options to choose from and this one seemed the best.

FOR ME, I get to return to a place where I spent several years in the 1990’s, when I was part of WSCR-AM, when the station was on AM-820, after it first launched in 1992.

For the show, our benefits and yours, is that we have a new state of the art studio, that includes live listen online at wcpt820.com and on Facebook. There are some people who say the signal of our new home is better in the Chicago area, than the old one. I’m not sure about that, but we will see.

OUR GUESTS for Week #1 include Craig Annis Chief Branding Officer for the USGA, and Jim Richerson VP-PGA of America, and VP of Arizona based Troon Golf Management.

We would like to thank our returning sponsors, they have all returned for another season.
