Ryan Porth knows better than to follow his recent promotion to program director at The Score with wide-ranging changes. The station outpaced its sports-talk rival, ESPN 1000, in the winter ratings book and held strong in the market overall. Why fix what isn’t broken?

“I don’t foresee a lot changing with what listeners are going to hear,” said Porth, who was promoted from assistant brand manager last Friday. “We’re lucky to have a programming staff that’s so talented and seasoned with Chicago sports. I’m still going to be leaning on them. When I see opportunities to weave in ideas, I will. But I don’t see ideation as a weakness at all with this team.”
