From the June 7, 2015, Chicago Tribune "Rock vet Skafish out at WDRV" by Robert Feder.
I listen a lot to Chicago's WDRV, the Drive, and Bobby Skafish's afternoon show was a favorite of mine, especially during the summer and fall when we're out on the boat in the afternoon.
Anyway, I learned he was off the air as of June 4th with no reason cited, but most likely because of his ratings.
He is a veteran of Chicago radio. After graduating from Indiana University, he began at WXRT-FM in 1976 and also worked at WLUP-FM 97.9 and WKQX-FM 101.1 before returning to WXRT-FM in 1994. he joined WDRV-FM 97.1 in 2007.
Steve Seaver will be taking over Skafish's 2 to 7 p.m. slot Monday-Fridays. Seaver (as he calls himself) has been filling in wherever needed at WDRV, especially when Bob Stroud is on vacation.
Here's hoping Skafish gets back with WXRT or maybe the new station MeTV radio at 87.7-FM.
Always Enjoyed His Show. --RoadDog
