wscrとは 意味・読み方・使い方

WSCR is a sports radio station in the Chicago, Illinois radio market. The station is owned by CBS Radio and transmits on 670 kHz on the AM dial. Its transmitter is located just off Army Trail Road in Bloomingdale, which is a western suburb of Chicago. It is known as "The Score," and has been on the air since 1992. Initially signing on at 820-AM, it moved to 1160-AM in 1997, and to its current dial position of 670-AM — a 50,000 watt clear-channel signal acquired when Viacom ceased broadcasting WMAQ's all-news format in August 2000, and subsequently divested the 1160 frequency due to FCC limits on ownership (see WMAQ (AM) and WYLL). WSCR is currently the radio flagship home for Chicago White Sox baseball as well as Northern Illinois University Huskies football and men's basketball, and DePaul University basketball. WSCR also carries other live sports programming from Westwood One, including Monday Night Football. From 2001-2008, the station was the flagship for Chicago Blackhawks hockey, until their move to WGN (720).
