Cara added to the Mix
The once-sad story of Cara Carriveau turned out to have a happy ending after all.
In 2006, after eight years at Emmis Communications classic rock WLUP-FM (97.9), Carriveau was fired as midday personality after she spoke out in a letter to this column about so many local radio icons being out of work.
On Tuesday, she was named permanent midday personality at Bonneville International hot adult-contemporary WTMX-FM (101.9), where she'd been working part-time since leaving the Loop.
She succeeds Renee Dubay, who exited last April.
"Cara's well-rounded talents will be a welcome addition to Chicago's office listening," said Mary Ellen Kachinske, program director of the Mix.
