From Lars site...

* * As has been exclusively reported on this website in recent years, the relationship between WTMX-FM/101.9 The Mix morning show superstars Eric Ferguson and Kathy Hart has been a terrible one. While the two seem to have incredible chemistry on the airwaves, when the microphones are turned off, the duo simply cannot stand each other. The problems behind the scenes have only worsened over the years and Hubbard Radio Chicago management has done little to smooth over the problem or end the highly toxic work conditions that have long existed. According to insiders at WTMX-FM, the problem is so bad that the two hosts will only communicate with each other through producers. They will not even say a word to each other. Many of the insiders side with Hart, claiming Ferguson's ego, entitled attitude, and harsh treatment of others makes it difficult to be around him. No longer able to handle the negativity of working alongside Ferguson, Hart left the station this week on what appears to be a mental health leave of absence. The inside sources feel and fear that she will not be coming back to the station, preferring to not work at all rather than be subjected to working in an unhappy atmosphere. Hubbard Radio Chicago is now scrambling to figure out a solution to this problem (if there even is one at this point), and to try and save their "golden goose" morning show that has produced record-high ratings and revenue for them for so many years. Ferguson and Hart have been on-air partners on WTMX-FM since September 1996, creating one of the most successful and consistently highest-rated morning shows in Chicago radio history. This past November they were inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame to honor their radio successes. In January, the duo were given a multi-year contract extension to stay on WTMX-FM. Should Hart leave the station permanently, and should she be able to exit her multi-year contract due to Hubbard being in breach of it because of the ongoing toxic work environment, she could become one of the most sought-after free agent morning show hosts to have happened in Chicago radio in years.

Used to listen to them on the way to work 20 years ago. Haven't paid attention to them in about 15 years. Had no idea they hated each other?

Anyone got more details on the feud, like how it started and just how bad it is? I find this story to be pretty funny.

I'm surprised the show has lasted this long. All they do is read Yahoo headlines and ask listeners to call and tell their stories. Kathy seems like a nice person but never really brought anything to the show except for "yeah" and "uh-huh" Kinda like Christina Filiaggi on Roe' s old show.

Speaking of bad shows, I'm surprised Roe is still on the air. It's a brutal listen. All he does is bad voice impressions. Then his merry network of nitwits chime in with nothing if substance. I like local radio, but chicago options suuuuck.

Prize pigs is why Eric and Kathy is still on the air. They give away shit all the time, and people lap it up. The news that they are breaking up is a nice Cinco De Mayo gift.

How did he fare in the latest ratings? When he gets excited he sounds like Jay Leno with his nuts in a vice.

That is correct. I've heard some stories from sources I know about him and CBS's Rob Johnson.

Not together - together with others.

Everyone knows the Paulie Walnuts of Chicago radio is Mike North: loves organized crime, aggressively ignorant, a great sidekick but terrible leader.

Yeah, when he and Patsy Parisi show up to give Christopher some shit after he was recently made, Paulie is spied sniffing Adriana's panties.

That's just what the liberal Hollywood elite wanted you to see. How could you fall for that???

Stupid liberal Hollywood elite. Always doing stuff.
