670 The Score in Chicago has started its search for the next fantasy football expert. The process begins on Thursday, August 17th through a series of live auditions where listeners will earn an opportunity to showcase their writing and broadcasting talents on-site at various local venues. People can find out where and when by visiting CBSChicago.com/expert.
The Score says the winner will contribute to the station’s fantasy football content, both on-air and online, by offering tips and strategies for anyone managing their own fantasy football team throughout the 2017 NFL regular season. They’ll also appear live every Sunday on Joe Ostrowski’s show on The Score between 8a-9a CT.
“We are excited to launch the 2017 search for 670TheScore.com’s fantasy football expert,” said WSCR Program Director and Operations Director, Mitch Rosen. “This is an amazing opportunity for a die-hard fan to participate in the action on-air and online. With fantasy football continuing to grab our listeners’ attention, I look forward to finding the right candidate who can provide an exceptional perspective in a highly visible role with the station.”
The station will choose 10 candidates from all on-site applicants and invite them in for a formal interview. A panel of expert judges will select the winner during a finale event from 10p-12a on September 9, 2017.
