Audacy names Leila Rahimi as the new midday co-host for WSCR-AM (670 The Score) in Chicago. She joins co-host Marshall Harris on "Rahimi and Harris," weekdays from 10am-2pm CT. This role marks Rahimi as the first female, full-time, primetime, lead sports radio host in Chicago. The show will also feature station Bears reporter Mark Grote as a recurring guest twice a week.

"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," said Mitch Rosen, Vice President of Sports Programming, Audacy Chicago. "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."

"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," added Rahimi. "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."

Rahimi has worked in sports media for two decades, joining 670 The Score in 2017 as a contributor and rising to co-host in 2020. From 2021 to 2024, she served as a sports anchor for NBC Chicago, where she became the station's first female main sports anchor in 2022. Rahimi also previously spent five years at NBC Sports Chicago, hosting baseball pregame and postgame shows for the Cubs and White Sox, and covering marquee events including the hockey broadcasts of both the 2018 and 2022 Olympic Games.
