Mac, Jurko, and Harry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mac, Jurko, and Harry is the afternoon, drive-time show hosted by Dan McNeil, John Jurkovic and Harry Teinowitz. The show debuted on ESPN’s WMVP AM-1000 in Chicago in 2001 and has been regarded as the station’s flagship program. The trio is consistently one of the most popular radio shows among male listeners.

Despite their achievements, the show has not been without controversy. In 2002, the station suspended McNeil and Teinowitz over an off-air shoving incident and followed it up weeks later with an on-air spat.

On June 9th of 2006, another on-air incident resulted in station management suspending the duo for two weeks. The fracas started following another episode of McNeil harassing Teinowitz for his silver spoon upbringing. The final hour and twenty minutes of the show was cancelled.

Over its five-year history Mac, Jurko and Harry have had five producers. Adam Delevitt (2001-2006), Jeff Dickerson (2001-2002), Artie Kennedy (2001-2002), Ben Finfer (2002-present), and Scot Bertram (2002-2003, 2006-present).
