Eric Ferguson :.
Elburn, Illinois, native Eric Ferguson has awakened and entertained Chicago radio listeners for over a decade after working around the country including Colorado, Florida and Pennsylvania. This University of Iowa alum claims he was attracted to a career in radio mostly because of the flashy, form-fitting uniforms that he gets to wear and the early hours allow him to pursue his dream of caddying on the PGA Tour. Eric likes to spend time with the most important people in his life... his wife Jen, his four kids, David Letterman, and the guy making the burritos at Chipotle.

Kathy Hart :.
Kathy's obsession with food has her dreaming of being a judge on any cooking show. She is glad to be on the air at THE MIX, close to her hometown of Crystal Lake. After years of working in radio in Milwaukee, Phoenix, and Raleigh, she decided to quit her job and move home. Kathy enjoys the perks of her position such as meeting celebrities, but is happiest when she's on a massage table. You may be surprised to know that Kathy was in the Chess Club and her family was in the Clinton Fencehoppers Snowmobile Club.

Melissa McGurren :.
Moving to Chicago wasn't a far trip for Melissa, who grew up in Indiana. At the age of 8, Melissa was already writing and creating radio shows on cassette tapes to play for her mom. Although the shows needed some work…come on…she was only 8 years old...she decided to pursue a career in radio. Melissa started her radio career in the Hoosier State in Hammond and Merrillville before becoming the sidekick, traffic reporter at THE MIX. She consistently strives to be the best Melissa she can be and says there is always more to learn through new experiences in life. The new love of her life is her son Porter who was born in December of 2010. "With a twinkle in his eye, he stole my heart". "Ok, so that's super cheesy" she says, but it's completely true. Check out photos of him on her Facebook website site.

John Swanson (Swany) :.
When he's not working on home improvements, reading poetry or practicing his synchronized swimming you may catch Glendale Heights native, "Swany", on the other end of your phone when you're calling in to The Eric & Kathy Morning Show. This Columbia College grad is happy to be working in Chicago radio and is the creative mind behind many of those catchy musical clips you hear in the morning. You may or may not be surprised that Swany still hangs out with his junior high school teachers and that his guilty pleasures include Spongebob Squarepants, The Weather Channel and Tom Cruise movies.

Cynthia's guilty pleasure is celebrity gossip and happily starts her day reading People, US Weekly, TMZ and Page Six. It is in her job description! She recently married in May 2010. She's busy enjoying being a newlywed with her husband, trying to cram as much into life as possible and planning her dream trip to Paris. You'll likely find Cynthia browsing Chicago's trendiest boutiques, getting her mani/pedis and, of course, drinking wine with her girlfriends.

Brian
Growing up on the Northwest Side of Chicago, Whip always knew he wanted to be in radio. He spent a good portion of his childhood in a small, dark room tape-recording music and sports broadcasts, journaling song charts, and mimicking announcers. A little bit sad, yes, but he feels that it has paid off. Whip got his first radio job at WPGU in Champaign while attending the University of Illinois. After graduation he moved his talents to the big city of Chicago. During the dog days of summer, you may spot Whip at a baseball game or taking in the architectural splendor the city has to offer. Whip and his wife reside in the North suburbs with their daughter.

Cara Carriveau :.
Cara Carriveau grew up wanting to be a drummer in a rock band. Thanks to her PS3 she often lives out that fantasy when she plays Rockband with her 13 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. Cara's voice likely sounds familiar since she has been heard on Chicago radio airwaves for decades. In fact, it's her voice you hear when you call some concert venues including the Rosemont Theatre and Allstate Arena. Her favorite perk of her job at WTMX is getting the opportunity to chat with Mix artists - you can find many of those conversations in Cara's Connection. Her hobbies include going to concerts, home improvements, online shopping and spending way too much time on facebook.

Kevin (KOZ) Koske :.
As a young tike, Koz dreamt of being a pilot, but soon came to realize that if you joke around in the cockpit, something really bad could happen. Radio allows for much more wisecracking, so Koz got into broadcasting in L.A., Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Denver, but he is happiest to be working in his hometown at THE MIX. Growing up in Elk Grove Village, Koz easily navigates the Windy City, however he finds it extremely irritating when people have no clue what to do at a 4-way stop and offers this website for help (www.jimloy.com/humor/fourway.htm).

Erin Carman :.
As a young girl growing up in Canton, Ohio, Erin dreamed of working in radio for the sole purpose of meeting "Prince" backstage where he would ask her to marry him. While she continues to work on her backstage pass, Erin can be heard weeknights as the host of U-Mix-It. On the weekends, between dog walks, you'll find Erin teaching fitness class, or on the couch, mouth open, snoring with a half-eaten bag of Gummy Bears by her side. Although she hates the helmet hair, Erin will often ride her bike to work. "It's amazing what you see when riding your bike in this city". Erin and her husband (not "Prince") reside on the North side of the city.

Mike Roberts :.
After over 25 years in night-time radio, Mike is happy that he's had the opportunity to work with and for some of the very best in the industry. His supportive family (wife, two sons and two dogs) and a good day's sleep make this overnight guy happy. As a Chicago native, Mike's radio career has also stayed within the boundaries of Illinois sending him to such towns as River Grove, Dundee, Macomb, Des Plaines and Chicago. He's currently working at the only job he's ever wanted to do!
