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.
