The Loop was on a decline in the 90s and Johnny B left in 97.
Believe me you, no one is discussing Murphy, WGN TV News is not imitating Johnny B either. I do not see any other LOOP personalities being hired for TV commercials and or hosting concerts. But people are still discussing Eddie and Jobo.
I agree with you, there was great personality that ran through Chicago during that time period. But fact is, Eddie and Jobo cleaned it up money wise, ratings, revenue and name recognition. B96 suffered badly when E&J were taken off the air. They were past their prime, but people still associated the station with them. They have not had a solid AM drive show since and the station suffers due to it.
