93XRT has been connected with Lollapalooza since day 1 of the fest.  2016 marked 25 years of Lollapalooza, and like every other year, we were positioned in Artist Village capturing and broadcasting live interviews each day of the four day fest.  

Other 2016 interviewees consisted of Perry Farrell, Houndmouth, Local Natives, Strumbellas, Phantogram, Silversun Pickups, Frank Turner, and many, many others.

I have been broadcasting backstage at Lollapalooza since 2013.

670 the score Chicago Bears Postgame show

Chicago Bears and RAdio LEgends Doug Buffone and Ed O'bradovich Live Broadcast

about the broadcast

The Chicago Bears Post Game show on 670 The Score was listened to nationally because of the eccentric and "Large" personalities of the two who took the radio by storm - Doug Buffone and Ed O'Bradovich.  Not only were these two Chicago Bears Legends and very close friends, but they grew to become fiery radio legends.  They took each Bears loss to heart and showed the country how much they cared for 3 hours after every bears game. 

 We have recently lost Doug Buffone, a loss to all that knew him and I'm glad to be fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to work along side him every week.
