Jarrett Payton Expected to Replace Mike Mulligan on The Score Morning Show

Jarrett Payton Expected to Join The Score's Morning Show
Jarrett Payton, the former WGN TV sports anchor, is expected to be announced Monday as Mike Mulligan's replacement on The Score's morning show, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned. The station plans to make the announcement at 3 , and the new show, which will be co-hosted by David Haugh, is expected to begin Aug. 31.
Payton, 45, is the son of Bears legend Walter Payton. He spent more than 10 years at WGN before announcing his departure July 30 to spend more time with his family. The switch from nights to mornings is expected to fit with his family plans.
Payton has a long relationship with The Score, having appeared on shows across the station's lineup. His father, Walter Payton, also appeared on the station and revealed in February 1999 that he had a rare liver disease; he died Nov. 1 of that year.
The transition comes as The Score reshuffles its morning lineup, with Payton stepping in for Mulligan. The Sun-Times report did not specify further details about Mulligan's departure or other changes at the station.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
