Chicago radio icons Ed Volkman and Joe Bohannon, whose celebrated partnership as Eddie & Jobo has endured through 25 years of ups and downs,
are out of work again. On Thursday they were cut after 20 months as morning personalities on CBS Radio classic hits WJMK-FM (104.3), the
station they helped kick off as K-Hits in 2011. They declined to go on the air for a final show Friday, but will be paid through the remainder
of their two-year contracts, which expire in March. Asked why they chose not to bid farewell to their audience, Volkman told me: “Who’s really
listening? That was part of the problem. I can say goodbye on social media to a lot more people than we were getting there.” Later he tweeted:
“When Jobo & I were taken off @B96Mornings in 2008 Twitter was in its infancy. Today? OMFG! I'm grateful for unlimited data on this phone!”
