Could not believe the news! I have also listened to them in the 80’s, then switched to Howard Stern for five years or so. When he went to Sirius, went back to E & J and have listened to them diligently since then. It’s a shame how B96 management let them go. But we all work in “Fire at Will” jobs so none of us are really safe if you think about it.
I hope they find another home somewhere, although chances of a gig here in Chicago are pretty slim. With the amount of money they have been making, maybe they should both consider early retirements and take it easy for once.
I tried Kiss FM’s DreX but I know I will never get used to his voice and mannerisms. Also Steve Dahl again, who I’ve also listened to before for years. He should also consider an early retirement himself along with Buzz Kilman. His show is now a bit tame and a tad boring.
I will really miss them and Erica in my daily morning trek to work.
