Hubbard Radio Hot AC “101.9 The Mix” WTMX Chicago has announced that morning co-host Kathy Hart will not return to the station.
Hart has been absent from the station since April and only released a vague statement in August to explain why. She joined WTMX in 1995 after working at WNCI Columbus, KVRY and KDKB Phoenix, WTRG and WDCG Raleigh, as well as stations in Rockford and Milwaukee and was soon paired in mornings with Eric Ferguson.
The Eric & Kathy show grew into the dominant morning show in the Chicago market over the past 21 years and will continue with Ferguson and sidekicks Melissa McGurren, Brian “Whip” Paruch, Cynthia DeNicolo and John “Swany” Swanson.
