Breaking news from B 96

Wow. Just found out from WGN Midday news that not surprising but the timing of it may be surprising.

Eddie, JoBo, and Erica have been fired from B 96. Mornings will be temporarily held by J Niice until they find a replacement or look in a different direction. WGN found the source from All Access.

The thing I find interesting is that Styles and Roman are not automatically going to do morning. Personally thank God cause I think B 96 would do worse with them in the mornings.

Thoughts, comments.......

Personally it does not surprise me but interesting the timing of it. Kiss FM and Drex are probably jumping for joy.
 
Surprising. I didn't think they were performing in the ratings poorly enough.

I guess the good news for E&JB is that they can start receiving their Medicare benefits immediately.
 
Time goes on and doesnt look back. Sad to see them go, but they were WAY past their time their. In my opninio, It would've been best if they went to 'CKG when it was all talk and gradually made the search for a new morning show at b96.

Everyone knew this was bound to happen, but again, CBS drops the ball and never does the right thing.

Just my 2 cents.
 
Apparently there is talk according to All-Access that the PD from Kiss FM is in the process of inviting Eddie & JoBo to do a proper goodbye that B 96 never allowed them to have.

I know it is pretty low down and their purpose is to throw dirt at their competition but if they do it and pull it off, it would be a very cool and classy idea!

Thoughts?

Didn't 'CFL's former morning show duo Dalgren and Sainte show up on Fred Winston's WLS morning show after they were fired? If I remember correctly, they were fired after they announced CFL's upcoming format change back in '76.

...indeed, they did. Rather ironic, considering Winston himself was canned a few months later when WLS bought out Lujack's SuperCFL contract. And after Howard Stern was cut loose from WWDC Washington in advance of his going to WNBC New York, it was WAVA that allowed him to say (a temporary) goodbye to his D.C. fans...
 
I don't think they'll be able to make a comment on Kiss. They are still under contract getting full salary until July. I suppose if they wanted to give that up, B96 would be happy to let them out of their contract to say anything they wanted on WKSC.
 
You know they kept this a big secret because Dahl didn't say a word about it during Friday's show
