Dan Bernstein, a longtime host at Chicago sports radio station 670 The Score, has been fired following allegations of doxing in a social media dispute.
The decision was announced on air by station head Mitch Rosen on March 21, 2025, at approximately 1:50 p.m. An email was also sent to station staff confirming Bernstein’s immediate departure.
The controversy began when Bernstein posted a photo of himself holding a northern pike with the caption, "This was a helluva fight." A social media user accused him of killing the fish, to which Bernstein responded that it had been released. The user remained skeptical, leading to an argument where Bernstein allegedly threatened to reveal the user’s identity and referenced involving the person's children. Screenshots of the exchange circulated online before the posts were deleted.
Following the backlash, Bernstein was removed from the board of directors for Camp One Step by Children's Oncology Services, an organization he had long supported. The charity stated that Bernstein’s remarks did not align with its values.
Bernstein had been with 670 The Score since 1995, co-hosting several popular programs, including "Boers and Bernstein" and "Bernstein & Holmes." While known for his strong opinions on Chicago sports, he had previously faced criticism for controversial remarks.
His termination highlights the consequences of online behavior and the increasing scrutiny of social media conduct in professional settings.
