An apparent rift between Ed Volkman and Joe Colborn has dashed hopes for another comeback by the long-running Chicago radio duo known as Eddie & Jobo.
“Well, that’s all, folks,” Volkman declared on Facebook and Twitter Saturday. “There will be no Eddie & Jobo anymore. The offer was there, but only one of us wanted it. Hope he finds happiness.” For the first time in more than 25 years, Volkman is seeking work solo.
Sources confirmed the duo had been offered a 2½-year deal to host mornings on classic hits WLS FM 94.7. As first reported here last week, talks began in May when the two met with John Dickey, co-chief operating officer and executive vice president of Cumulus Media.
As eager as Volkman was to accept the deal, he couldn’t convince his longtime partner to agree. The two have been off the air since December 2012 when CBS Radio dropped them from classic hits WJMK FM 104.3. Since then, Colborn sold his Gold Coast condo and moved full-time to Freeport, Illinois. Volkman continues to live in Chicago.
