According to Chicago media critic Robert Feder, Audacy AAA WXRT-FM/Chicago morning host Richard Milne revealed Wednesday that he has stepped away from the show for now to care for his wife, Charlene Milne, who is suffering from frontotemporal dementia. He and Charlene met in 1988 when she worked in sales for the station.

"We're at end-stage now and this past Monday my love entered at-home hospice," wrote Milne in a Facebook post. "I've never mentioned any of this on the air and, even now, just writing it hurts my heart. But I wanted you to know what's behind my absence from the XRT morning show as of late. I'll be back when I can."

Feder says that Milne, a 36-year veteran of the station, has hosted mornings since 2020.
