WSCR is a sports radio station in the Chicago, Illinois radio market. The station is owned by CBS Radio and transmits on 670 kHz on the AM dial. "The Score" as it is often referred to, has been on the air since 1992. Initially signing on at 820-AM, it moved to 1160-AM in 1997, and to its' current dial position of 670-AM - a 50,000 watt clear-channel signal - in August 2000. WSCR is currently the radio home for Chicago White Sox games.

Some of the original personnel from the stations initial starting point have remained with the station, including former hotdog vender Mike North, former Chicago Sun-Times columnist and former Chicago Bulls journalist Terry Boers, and former "Chicago Cubs Bleacher Bum" Mike Murphy.

Many of the callers to the station supply regular contributions to the station in the form of faxes, emails, and calls as well. Some of the regular callers have longtime friendships with The SCORE's on-air personalities.

Well known Chicagoans appear on WSCR such as; former Major League pitcher, and former Chicago Cubs announcer Steve Stone, former Chicago Bears Head Coach Mike Ditka, Chicago actor Bernie Mac, current Manager of the World Champion Chicago White Sox Ozzie Guillén are regular contributors to the station.
