Chicago Radio: 'The Game' Morning Show To Simulcast On CSN

Kap and Haugh

WGN Radio and Comcast SportsNet Chicago are teaming up to simulcast The Game’s morning radio show, “Kap & Haugh,” to cable viewers beginning July 21, according to The Chicago Tribune.

The radio show, which features David Kaplan and Tribune sports columnist David Haugh, airs weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon on 87.7 FM. In addition to the live simulcast, CSN will run the “Best of Kap & Haugh” weeknights from 11 p.m. to midnight, featuring highlights from previous shows.

The announcement Tuesday gives greater visibility to the fledgling sports talk radio station, and a large block of live programming for CSN.

“Combining the ‘Kap & Haugh' radio broadcast with the TV powerhouse Comcast SportsNet is another piece that fits in our puzzle to bring a complete media experience to the Chicago sports fan,” Jimmy de Castro, WGN Radio president and general manager, said in a statement.

Kaplan, who started at WGN Radio in 1995, agreed to a multi-year deal to stay with the station in December.

Haugh has been covering sports for the paper since 2003.

The “Kap & Haugh” show debuted in February with the launch of “The Game,” an FM outlet leased by WGN.
