Two weeks ago, the entire on-air staff at 101.1 WKQX-FM said their farewells in advance of their station flipping formats. Friday the 29th was another day of radio farewells, although not quite the sad & joyful ending that the Q101 DJs went through, according to a posting by Larz at chicagoradioandmedia.com.
Friday was the final day on the air for the on-air personalities of WCFS-FM, known for now as Fresh 105.9.
As announced on July 14th, the same day as the Q101 DJs said goodbye, Fresh 105.9 goes away this weekend and gets replaced by the simulcast of WBBM-AM/Newsradio 780 on Monday. Friday's shows for Scotty Smith, Rebecca Ortiz, Brooke Hunter and Eric "Shark" Austin were their last.
