Heard most of the last hour of their show this morning.

Mike Bendixen & John Moore made the trip out to the Mott's home studio for an in-person on air chat

Nice run -- enjoy retirement!  

THE best 1-2 punch in talk radio, hands-down, was (the late) John Michael in the mornings followed by the Motts in the aft when they all were on 610 CKTB.  I gladly also tuned in when they were on their predecessor, CJRN 710.  With extreme respect, I rather preferred them in the St. Kitts/Niagara (format) area as opposed to Toronto's clock.

Damn.  I miss the Great John Michael.

No idea, but Bendixen did talk about how they were once fired by the former brass at the old 1010 and how unfair he thought it was. Carole Mott briefly recalled that they hired a lawyer and went after the company, although that on-air conversation was cut short. 

Announcement will apparently be made on air Wednesday morning.

Yes, The Motts WERE very guilty of this for many, many, MANY years.  It was beyond obvious that Carol would utter, "oh, Paul" as she was going to offer her leftist counterpoint to his hard right-wing stance.  But, in the last couple of years when they went on RB weekends, that seemed to magically disappear.  I'll tell you this: as much as I enjoyed them over the years, those forced point/counterpoints where predictable and tedious.  Thankfully, someone asked them to just be themselves and they were quite pleasurable.

I'll tell you this... if I disagreed with as much as they pretended to, I would have either been divorced or in federal maximum lock-up for murder-one.
