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 :.
Growing up Kathy wanted to be a detective and despite fantasies about being Sydney Bristow from "Alias", 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 Rockford, 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 just over the border in Indiana. At the age of 8, Melissa was already writing and creating radio shows on cassette tapes to play for her mom. After her mom lied and said her radio shows were good, she decided to pursue a career in radio. Melissa worked in the Hoosier State in Hammond and Merrillville before becoming the "sexy" 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.

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 Skolak :.
Like most giggly girls her age, Cynthia's guilty pleasure is celebrity gossip! Who wouldn't love a job that pays you to read People, US Weekly, TMZ and Perez Hilton?!?! She will be marrying the love of her life...Reggie...Roy...Roger...ummmmm...we mean Ron...in May 2010. She's hoping to take a romantic trip to Paris with her soon-to-be husband, prior to becoming barefoot and pregnant. Until then, you'll likely find Cynthia browsing Chicago's trendiest boutiques, getting her mani/pedis and, of course, drinking wine with her girlfriends. She's lived in the big city of Chicago for over 10 years, but she's trying to figure out the best suburb to raise 7-10 kids. Oh...and she's never met a tator-tot she didn't love.

Mark Suppelsa :.
"Do what you love and the rest will be ok in life" is this newsman's advice. And news has been Mark Suppelsa's love since attending elementary school in Libertyville. He was drawn into radio during his years at Marquette University, but soon discovered a career in TV that led him to Minneapolis and then back to Chicago in 1993. In addition to delivering the news on The Eric & Kathy Morning Show, Mark also anchors the WGN Evening News WGN Evening News weekdays from 5p-6p and the WGN News at Nine (9pm). When not working, you may see this sports nut running along Lake Michigan or you may miss him growing a beard as he slips off to the Montana cabin.

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).

Jeff Corder :.
"25¢," as he's often referred to, is happy that a career in radio worked out for him because there's not a big need for Proffessional Cat Jugglers. Jeff is proud of his heritage growing up in the SOUTHSIIIIDE paradise known as Blue Island. He attended Illinois State University (until he was asked to "please leave") where he was involved in radio, theater, stand-up and various improv groups. The most important people in his life are his imaginary friends, his mom Barb, boss Mary Ellen, and his parole officer Gus. His career has taken him all over central Illinois, but he's happy to be at THE MIX where "the restrooms are clean and there's always a bottomless cup of coffee."

Every night Jeff hosts New Tunes @ 9 Mon-Sun.

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!
