Anne was the ultimate roadblock for North and his Morning Circus. Her attempts at contributions were untimely, off topic, lacked fact and entertainment.

She was a WGN traffic/news/weather person who Mike North thought would be able to be an intriguing listen.

She didn't just walk into the job, Mike selected her. Mike got her the job, Mike even went to bat when Mitch and Co. wanted her gone. Everyone knew she didn't work and I include Mike in that group, but the one thing that kept her on the show was Mike's ego.

Keeping her around even after they decided to return to mostly sports talk, would be like the Sox telling us they are going to be a speed team next year and they retain Dye, Thome, Konerko, Crede, Machoviak, etc.

Took long enough.

Fodder for the grill, from August 27 2004.




Mike North, whose on-air sidekicks at WSCR-AM (670) have included burly ex-Bears Dan Jiggetts and Doug Buffone, is in for a new kind of partnership when he shifts to mornings.

Starting Sept. 13, North will team up with Chicago radio veteran Anne Maxfield, the feisty firecracker who's been delivering drive- time traffic at WGN-AM (720) since 1992.

"Annie was the one I wanted from the very beginning," North said. "From the moment I ran into her at a party, I knew right away she was the one. She's a no-nonsense, takes-no-B.S. liberal, and I'm a no- nonsense, takes-no-B.S. conservative. It's going to be great."

In moving North to mornings, bosses of the Infinity Broadcasting sports/talker say they hope to expand the scope of the show to include entertainment, politics and "all things Chicago."

Maxfield, a native of north suburban Highland Park and graduate of the University of Notre Dame, worked at WUSN-FM (99.5), WBBM-AM (780) and the former WJJD before joining WGN, where she held her own with the late Bob Collins as well as Spike O'Dell, John Williams and Steve Cochran.

"I am more than excited about being in a situation where my talents will be fully utilized," she said. "I've sidekicked some of the best in the business over the years, and I can't wait to add Mike to that list. This is an awesome opportunity."

Maxfield's last day at the Tribune Co.-owned news/talk station was Thursday.


I guess she likes to leave jobs on Thursdays huh?

This is what passes for "intensive talent search" in the North vernacular. Met her at a party--put her on my show.
Kind of like selecting an electrician to rewire your house because you bumped into him at a restaurant a couple times.

Arguing with a fool proves there are two.

Or a person to executively produce your show because she gave you a good seat at Gibson's.

Ain't that right, Jiggles?

Stealing my thunder!

Met co host at party
Producer was Waitress
Other cohost stuck to chair so kept him

I bet rock got the job because Mike didn't know he needed a sound man thus rock was just kinda there. Lucky for North, because if he knew he needed a sound guy, Knuckles might be working the board.

'hey the guy changes the station in his car more than anyone I know'

Hmmm. Hey Rock were you Pappy's plummer before you got the gig? Probably not. Those weird, inapropriate hires are only for the girlies that Pappy likes. LOL.

Annie's a no-nosense liberal ? She gave as many ill-conceived talking points as Mike does on the right, and I'd be embarrassed to have either side representing my political views because they don't know enough to argue them.

Go back to traffic Annie. That's where your talent lies.

No, but I bet Rock helped Pappy clean his pipes a couple of times.

Let's not forget that North used to work for Annes husband Harvey Wells.
! Fans can correspond with her at annemaxfield@notalent.com


Sorry Had to be done- BIG FAN

ill miss you annie, i know what you say to yourself when you read these forums.

What can she say??

The people that listen to the show are the only ones who tell the truth?

Ike, I think the people of this board have stated the most obvious fact that she should not be there and withheld making personal comments!

She did a bad job! BAD BAD BAD!

And she was not HOT! As North wanted us all to think she was, or even very smart as she wanted us to think she was!


Good Riddens

ill give you one thing, once mike put a collar on her last winter she basically gave up. doing her nails when she should have been working to get back in the mix... not my idea of someone who deserves what they are paid.

Did the producer have trouble getting her to do a job everyday?

What about Mitch?

Is that you Fred??

Oh, whoever said she was hot better have their freakin' eyes examined.

Any of the three do anything for you? If it does, please go see an eye specialist and have your glacoma checked.

GOOD GAWD!!

I just got back from the Pride Parade & I prefer The Man In The Middle.

Given the choices, I'd probably do Harvey first.

At least the kid doesn't look too bad, but then most kids are cute. And then puberty kicks you in the ass like Fred Savage.

Personally, I think Harvey could've done better. That's just my opinion though.
