Losing your job is never easy, but it’s even worse when you find out indirectly.
WGWG radio hosts Ben Finfer and Alex Quigley were on air hosting their Chicago-based sports talk radio show when they learned through Twitter that their show was being cancelled.
The video above shows how the hosts reacted on air to learning about losing their jobs. Needless to say, they were quite perturbed.
This is the YouTube description of the video:
The employees of Tribune Broadcasting-owned WGWG-LP (87.7FM The Game) in Chicago found out this afternoon that their low-rated sports station was being canceled at the end of 2014. Due to said ratings, no one was particularly surprised, personalities Ben Finfer (left), Alex Quigley (right), and Julie Dicaro (off-screen) were notified by Chicago Tribune media columnist Robert Feder’s Twitter post and related blog post. Naturally, that did not sit too well, and their instant reaction was heard (and seen) live just after 1:00PM CT on “Quigs and Finfer”.
“How am I supposed to handle this with class?” Finfer asks. “Nobody else around here does.
“We just got fired!”
That was uncomfortable.
