670 The Score (WSCR-AM) has named Leila Rahimi as its new midday show co-host alongside Marshall Harris. With this move, Rahimi becomes the first female, full-time, primetime lead sports radio host in Chicago history.
She began contributing to 670 The Score in 2017. From 2021 through early 2024, she served as a sports anchor at NBC Chicago, where she became the station’s first female main sports anchor in 2022. Rahimi’s career also includes work for NBC Sports Chicago, hosting pregame and postgame shows for the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox, and covering marquee events like the Olympic hockey broadcasts in 2018 and 2022.
Additional past roles include on-air positions at MLB Network, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, CSN Houston, and Fox Sports San Diego.
Rahimi and Harris will also feature regular appearances from station Bears reporter Mark Grote, who will join the program twice a week.
The show fills the spot held by Dan Bernstein, who was let go in March after a public social media incident where he threatened to release someone’s personal information online over a disagreement about a fishing picture.
Audacy Chicago Vice President of Sports Programming Mitch Rosen said, “We’re committed to having top-tier hosts who are respected by local teams and can connect with our listeners through thoughtful and engaging opinions. Leila is one of the hardest-working teammates at The Score, and her knowledge of Chicago sports has made her a beloved voice among the city’s fans. We’re thrilled to elevate her into this role and launch this new midday show alongside Marshall Harris.”
Rahimi said, “I’ve been happy to be a part of The Score team on a regular basis since late 2020, and I’m very excited to add a new chapter hosting the midday show in this role. The support The Score listeners have shown over the years has meant the world to me, and I’m looking forward to spending more time with them every day from ten to two o’clock.”
I no longer listen to the score it’s just horrendous and she makes it worse.
