While tonight’s Bears vs. Packers “Monday Night Football” is an ESPN broadcast, it will also be available “over the air” in Chicago via WCIU-TV Ch. 26/The U at 7 p.m., with the ESPN coverage beginning at 7:30 — kickoff shortly after 7:30.
On an added note, while the radio side is the normal WBBM-AM 780 and WCFS-FM 105.9, you may also hear the Packers broadcast, depending where in Chicagoland you may be, via the Milwaukee station WTMJ-AM 620. The Packer’s radio play-by-play voice is the familiar sounding Wayne Larrivee.
Meanwhile, WGN-AM 720 is airing a special “Two and a Half Bears” pre-game with Pete McMurray, Dan Hampton and Glen Kozlowkski from 6 to 7:30 p.m. — the same group return after the game for the “Two and a Half Bears” post-game.
Win or lose, this Packers fan will be listening to the “Chevy Silverado Green & Gold Post Game Show” with Bill Michaels and Gary Ellerson via the WSSP-AM 1250 in Milwaukee live stream. As a matter of fact, it’s a safe bet that I’ll be listening to WSSP all day.
Regardless of the Bears situation with no Jay Cutler and their other abundance of injuries, I’m still feeling the jitters for tonight’s game. You never know what kind of affect, good or bad, the bye will have on a team, and I’m not sure which Packers offense will show up tonight. I don’t necessarily expect it to be a blowout like the one they had against the Vikings last Sunday night.
