At first, I thought that maybe something was wrong with the website but this morning I heard a new voice on the radio. I was really upset that because I did not see this coming. I started listening to you and Joe during the fall of 2005, when I started college at CLC. While I am not a morning person, I enjoyed waking up and getting ready while listening to you two. I always knew the weather and traffic conditions, but the birthday battle and the arguments you, Monica, Tim and Joe had were the best. Then on January of this year I transferred to UIC and the morning show also began to go through changes. First Joe and now you, the mornings will not be same. I wish you the best, I know you will do great things, just don’t forget about us little people. Thanks! Hi Rebecca,

I missed you Friday but thought you must be sick... then I checked the website over the weekend and couldn't believe it. I imagined they must have used that 'new direction' speech with you... I know it hurts but you are fabulous and will do great. Just wanted you to know you are missed... now both my favs are gone! Guess it's gonna be cd's for me in the morning... poor Monica and Tim.... anyway... take care and thanks for reading my random babblings. Stef Hey Rebecca,

When I turned on the radio today, I was lost. THAT was not how to make a change that affects so many people's morning! I immediately switched my station and will NOT switch back, which is a sad thing to do considering there are other good people there. Best of luck to you from myself and the kids (I haven't told them yet...they're still getting over Joe) Laura I was off work last week, so I missed my typical morning commute.

This morning I tuned in (as always in the morning) and it was Jimmy & Jenny and I was sooo confused. I looked up Joe's blog which is where I found out about you. I am truly sad that you are gone. Joe & Rebecca have been in my mornings everyday for the last 4 years. When Joe left I was sad but happy that you were still around. And now you are gone. I will be honest, the show this morning was horrible and I will now be finding a new station in the morning. I am not really sure what reason behind the "change" was but if XLC wanted to lose listeners they have succeded. I am not sure how they would even think that this was a good business decision. Good luck to you! You are great person and a pleasure to listen to. You will do just fine! :) Hi Rebecca,

Then on Friday afternoon I hear this commercial for the Jimmy & Jen show starting Monday morning!?!?! What the heck??? Just like I freaked out when Joe left us - - I began panicking and praying to God they'd say something about you! But you couldn't have said it better yourself - - you need to be where you are appreciated - above all else. To have worked as hard as you have all these years to have it end like this is just the kind of corporate b.s. this world could do without. So it took a while but I FINALLY found you and after reading your blog - - I'm sad for us\Lake County but not for you. I have no doubt you will continue to do great things and be treated like the superstar that you are!! Good luck Rebecca - you will most definitely be missed and I wish you all the best!

I woke up this morning, turned on my radio and heard strangers!!! I thought maybe I was still asleep?!?? I cannot believe those jerkfaces let you go. I'm just so upset. First Joe and now you! I was really liking Rebecca,Tim and Monica in the morning. I want you to know that I called all morning long and those losers never even asnwered the phone. Of course I was going to say something like, "Where is Rebecca? and who the H are you tools?!?!?" I really don't even feel like listening in the morning anymore, but I still love Tim (who by the way the "accidently" called "Ed" this morning) and Monica..... it just won't be the same without you! I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do though :) Rebecca!!! I woke up this morning, turned on my radio and heard strangers!!! I thought maybe I was still asleep?!??

Sorry - my sister and I have been fans of yours & Joe's for awhile now - she especially was a dedicated listener & caller! She immediately called me this morning, confused, bewildered, angry, lonely... (ha) because she had no idea what was going on when she didn't hear you this morning. "That station" has done this over and over - ever since I've known them, they'll have a morning show, decide they don't like it, and totally revamp it without saying anything. I thought they were finally changing when they had the big goodbye for Joe - and kept you on by yourself - I thought, maybe they're really giving their listeners credit and staying loyal. WRONG! At any rate, we're so sorry to see you go, we'll definitely tune into you on B96...and I have a feeling this 'new' morning show they've got (wasn't Jimmy on the air like, 15 years ago??? I think he was on when I was in HIGH SCHOOL) won't last long, and they'll be up a creek, and wish they had you back. All the best to you, you seem like a great person. Don't lose your sincerity & heart just because people are jerks! You can hear that in your voice through our radios and it's what keeps us tuning in...don't lose it!
