Q107, which paired her with her old pal Terry DiMonte on their morning show, has decided not to renew her contract, and the Terry and Patti Show is now just the Terry Show.

MacNeil didn't respond to an email seeking comment, but made a brief statement to the Calgary Herald saying she was "disappointed" and "sad".

DiMonte, who has never been one to keep quiet about his feelings even if they might not be the most PR-friendly, said the move "blows big time". But, of course, it wasn't his call.

Before some of you start dreaming of a Terry & Ted reunion, the Birdman tells me that "convincing me to uproot my family and move 3,500km would take Terry money, and they already spent the Terry money on Terry."

It discusses a bit of their history in Montreal, his challenges ahead and the fact that he missed half his first month sick.

You'll recall DiMonte left CHOM FM here in November for a financially secure job at Q107 which pays him (according to the Herald's sources) a sweet $450,000 a year, guaranteed for five years. (And really, who wouldn't eat a steaming pile of dog poo for that kind of cash?)
