| Looks like they laid off Intern John, Sos and Co... apparently after a big contract re-up? |

| What? |

| Good. I found John’s voice so irritating, and sos was terrible at reporting the news. |

Wow. You think it’s good that someone lost their livelihood? |

| Are you serious? I love Intern John and Sos! I listen to War of the Roses every am. |

| IJ was a joke. I can’t believe marble mouth lasted that long. Must be what he had over Kane/iHeart back in the day. |

| Replaced with AI bot? |

Agree with PP about the voice. I don't think his profession was the best match for his skillset. He was lucky to last as long as he did. |

I will miss WAR OF THE ROSES SO MUCH
and IJ SCAMS and all the other things they did it was so fake. |

And yet, Rose is still on in the morning, but now doing entertainment, traffic, and news instead of just news. It's weird since she's in FL and the show hasn't been syndicated in Tampa since Kane left. |

| Wow really? Who is leading the show? Is Erik still there? |

| Ah that probably explains why they were playing slightly different (not necessarily new) songs and songs weren't repeating as frequently |

I'm surprised they would have to lay any one off. It's like nonstop commercials, so you think they'd have enough money.
I HATE war of the roses. It's just so fake. I do like however the radio shows where they have people call in and talk about the wild stuff going on in their lives, using a fake voice. Stuff like coworkers sleeping together, friends having a baby with another man, etc. |

I think it was IJ, Sos, and Andrew Hoody who were let go. From way back when Kane melted down, Rose and Erick must have some kind of arrangement with IHeart to keep their jobs forever because Kane got physical with Erick and IJ (there's a thread on DCUM) and Rose must have been a witness or something? Maybe someone who remembers better can chime in. |

There doesn't seem to be a show, per se. Mike Klein (sp?) is filling in and Rose is doing news, traffic, and entertainment. |
