The Mully & Haugh Show on 670 The Score was awarded the best morning show award by the Illinois Broadcasters Association Thrusday evening. The longtime Chicago sports radio duo received the Silver Dome Award for the first time during the IBA’s annual ceremony honoring the state’s top television and radio stations.
For Mulligan and Haugh, the recognition was both unexpected and gratifying. The kind of moment that reminds even veteran broadcasters why they got into the business.
“Come on, man. I mean, how often does something like that happen?” Mulligan said Friday morning on 670 The Score. “You gotta love it. It’s so much fun. It was shocking. I was sitting there, next thing you know, we walk up there, and someone, as I was coming back, said, ‘Congratulations.’ And I said, I think there’s been a terrible mistake made in our favor.”
That self-deprecating humor is vintage Mulligan — one of Chicago’s most respected radio voices. He’s spent decades in the market, first as a journalist and now as one of its most listened-to morning hosts. His chemistry with Haugh, the former Chicago Tribune sports columnist, has been a cornerstone of 670 The Score’s weekday lineup since they paired up in 2018.
Haugh echoed his co-host’s appreciation, calling the win a testament to the passion and consistency of Chicago radio professionals.
“That was very nice. It was an exceptional evening,” Haugh said. “Lot of great people we saw in the TV market here in Chicago that we have known for years. A lot of people doing great radio as well. And we were fortunate, and yeah, to win the best morning show.”
The Mully & Haugh Show has built its reputation around smart, conversational sports talk. A blend of insider access, journalistic perspective, and a distinctly Chicago sensibility. The hosts dissect the Bears’ latest moves, debate the Cubs’ direction. Plus analyze every development in local and national sports with credibility and humor.
The night was also a celebration for other’s within The Score and Audacy Chicago. Imaging director Russ Mitera and executive producer Chris Tannehill were awarded the Best Station Imaging award for their collaborative “Bears Season Hype Promo.” Chicago Cubs radio broadcaster Pat Hughes was inducted into the IAB Hall of Fame, while Audacy stations WBBM Newsradio was awarded the coveted Station of the Year award.
