Longtime 670 The Score host Terry Boers announced this evening that he’ll retire after twenty five years on the air in Chicago. Boers says his final show alongside his partner Dan Bernstein will take place on January 5, 2017.
In a column posted on the station’s website, Boers expressed his gratitude to his audience for sticking with him over the past two decades, including during the past year when health issues have taken a toll on him. He thanked the staff, management, and many who were previously part of the station’s rise, and acknowledged that he’d mentally reached the point where he knew it was time to say goodbye.
670 The Score will have an announcement at an appropriate time regarding the future of the afternoon show, but for now, this is Boers’ moment and he deserves to enjoy it until he signs off one final time on January 5th.
