V103 Chicago Parts Ways with Ramonski Luv

V103 (WVAZ 102.7 FM) top-rated host Ramonski Luv was let go this week by Clear Channel Media + Entertainment Chicago. Ramonski was part of the #1 rated evening show at V103. "The Real Show" with his on-air partner Joe Soto had recently celebrated their 10th anniversary together this past April.

Luv was last heard on the air on V103 on Friday, hosting V103's all-day 4th of July House music marathon and last Sunday on the anti-gun violence broadcast. Instead of returning to the airwaves on Monday night, Joe Soto was hosting alone.

Joe Soto and Ramonski Luv

Ramonski Luv (Raymond Wade) began his 30 year radio career as a producer for numerous hosts at 107.5 WGCI-FM, including Doug Banks when he picked up the nickname of Romanski Luv. In the 1980s, he also created and hosted Chicago's first all-rap show, "Rap Down." From there he went on to host and co-host numerous other shows on WGCI-FM, and since 2000 moved over to WVAZ-FM. "The Real Show" ran in afternoon drive time for a number of years until Chicago radio legend Doug Banks' nationally syndicated show was brought in to occupy afternoons at the station.
