Dan Bernstein Fired by 670 The Score
Dan Bernstein’s long tenure as a Chicago radio host at 670 The Score has concluded with his termination by Audacy.
Termination Announcement
The announcement of Bernstein’s dismissal was made by Mitch Rosen, Vice President and Brand Manager of 670 The Score, during the station’s midday program on Friday.
Speaking on air, Rosen stated, “We want to share some important news with our Score listeners, partners, and teammates. We are announcing today that Dan Bernstein no longer works at The Score. We wish him nothing but the best, and thank him for his time and service. Thank you.”
Social Media Incident Preceded Firing
Bernstein’s departure follows a recent controversial social media exchange where he threatened to reveal the personal information of another user on X (formerly Twitter). This online dispute began after the user criticized Bernstein for a photo he posted with a fish he had caught. Subsequently, Bernstein reportedly challenged the user to a physical altercation and threatened to publicly release their address and phone number.
Bernstein’s posts included aggressive language such as, “Where you at? I have your address and phone numbers. Want it all public? Do I worry you yet?” and he also reportedly questioned if the user wanted their children involved in the dispute. Following this incident, co-host Marshall Harris announced that Bernstein would be off the air for the week.
Bernstein’s History at The Score
Dan Bernstein had been with 670 The Score since 1995 and became a prominent figure in Chicago sports media during his long tenure.
Past Controversies
Beyond the recent social media incident, Bernstein’s tenure was marked by other controversies. In September, he was involved in a public disagreement with Dave Portnoy after reacting strongly to Barstool Eddie using his last name. Bernstein reportedly stated, “You can call me Dan or you can call me Bernsy, but you don’t know me like that,” to Eddie. Furthermore, earlier this week, Bernstein was removed from the board of directors of Camp One Step, a Chicago-based organization for children with cancer.
