Link: Working solo in the suburbs, Ed Volkman finds Star 96.7 audience ‘very
Met Ed many years ago at Erik's North. Great guy. Met his Dad Harry many many years ago when I was 5 years old. Kissed my Mom's hand (as he commonly did) and she promised never to wash it again. LOL. Great guy. Him and JoBo are 2 different people, but the magic when they were on the air together. JoBo has retreated from the public eye. Hope he is doing well. Him & Eddie went through a lot together between B96 round #1 and B96 round #2.

Generations of fans grew up listening to Ed Volkman and Joe Colborn, the endearing Chicago radio duo known as Eddie & Jobo.
Thanks to their 20-year run as the highly rated morning team on contemporary hit WBBM 96.3-FM and other stops along the way (as well as their ubiquitous TV ads hawking United Auto Insurance), they became rich, famous and seemingly inseparable.
All that ended in 2014 when Colborn turned down a lucrative offer to co-host mornings on classic hits WLS 94.7-FM, suddenly leaving Volkman without a partner and without a job. “Well, that’s all, folks,” Volkman declared. “There will be no Eddie & Jobo anymore.”
