Lori Barghini and Julia Cobbs announced on Tuesday that they will retire from afternoons at Hubbard Broadcasting’s female focused Talk “MyTalk 107.1” KTMY Coon Rapids/Minneapolis MN at the end of June.
Barghini and Cobbs have been part of the station since its flip to Talk in 2002. They first met in the early 1990s when they began working for the same company. In 1999, they invented Bodyperks, a silicone nipple meant to enhance the appearance of women’s breasts, which led to the duo doing media tours to promote the product and deciding to pursue radio.
In explaining their decision, Barghini stated on the air that she wanted more time to visit her mother and travel following the death of her father last summer, which their duties at the station prevented. Cobbs followed that the decision sped up her timeline, “but I’m okay and I’m really good with it now.”
