Ron Gleason: WBBM Newsradio, The Score and more

"Sports is part of news," says Ron Gleason, who went from sports broadcasting to WBBM Newsradio, where he was an anchor then Director of News and Programming for several years. Before WBBM, Ron was Director of Sports and Programming at WSCR The Score, which changed the style of sports radio. He talks about management vs being on air, sportscasting and play-by-play; his long radio career that started in California, continued at WJOL in Joliet, then Chicago; why he loves radio; advice for getting a job; the end of news stations WMAQ in Chicago and WCBS in New York; radio before and during the Internet, and much more. Margaret Larkin did this extensive interview with Ron via livestream.
