Host Steve Downes posted a farewell greeting on "The Classics" Facebook page that United Stations Radio Network was indeed ceasing production as of March 24. He also thanked longtime Chicago radio executive Greg Solk & 97.1 FM The Drive Program Director Keith Hastings for airing the show locally.
A couple of other things that I've noticed. Downes' voice is no longer heard doing the legal ID that The Drive and other radio & TV stations do at the top of every hour to identify themselves. Production Director Matt Bisbee is now voicing the legal ID. Downes' voice is also no longer promoting Janda Lane's "Behind the Song" podcast.
So it sounds it is indeed over & out for Downes at The Drive, even though he signed off as morning man in 2015.
