Decreased ratings were probably due to the fact that no one listens to the radio anymore.
90 year relationship with AM 720, and no World Series in that time
Was it 90 years or that WGN was around for 90 years? I heard something that said WGN has been the broadcasters since 1959, but before stations like 560 WIND had the Cubs as the flagship. A lot of mixed up stuff out there right now I think.
Finally! The Cubs are rid of the goat curse named WGN.90 year relationship with AM 720, and no World Series in that time
Losing Santo hurt alot too..

Aren't the Cubs ratings in general on both radio and tv down. They also do sell out as quick. Putting a losing ball club on the field continuously will drive ratings down.
Never was a fan of WGN radio tho once Santo was gone.
A lot of people are bashing the Cubs for this, when in reality it was WGN that didn't try to match the offer.
In correct. Apparently WGN was able to opt out if the ratings were bad enough. So, the Cubs lack of success and resulting diminishing appeal were vere much responsible for this.
Great move for the Cubs going to a CBS radio group.
