Q101 Silences Shock Jock 'Mancow'

CBS ^ | 7/11/06 | Jon Duncanson

[nonliberal]

Mancow is a South Park conservative. I listen to his show from time to time. Funny stuff.

[Rome2000]

Good, now he can run for Congress on the Moron Party ticket.

Actually, most Generation X conservatives identify with many of the points brought up on South Park. For instance, there is the fact Canadians are malformed, socialist robots. (sarcasm)

Seriously, South Park has its points, regardless of how long you can tolerate Cartman and Timmer. If you think about it a bit, it's sort of like the GOP with McCain and Guiliani.

[gracie1]

The local radio morning show I used to listen to was cancelled last year and replaced with Mancow. Out of principle, I refused to listen to his show. Then I started seeing him on Fox and Friends and liked what I heard. As a previous poster stated, he's a South Park Conservative. So I occasionally listen in the morning.

What I want to know now is, Are the Front Row coming back?

[hodaka]

Time to move to satellite radio Mancow. I bought a Sirius radio system and I am hooked. If he goes to satellite he better go with XM because Howard would tear him a new one if he came to Sirius.

[nonliberal]

it's sort of like the GOP with McCain and Guiliani.

I doubt that. Cow is more conservative than either of the two. McCain NEVER would have made Team America.

[BackInBlack]

Didn't Howard used to be a South Park conservative before reading Franken's book?

[GOP_Raider]

“Mancow’s Morning Madhouse” brought up the “C” word on-air

Clinton?

[308MBR]

I agree, but you might have missed my point. South Park is really about Kyle. Cartman (Rudy) and Timmer (McCain)are attention-hogs, at the expense of (guns, babies, marriage and socialism with Rudy, the entire Constitution with old Johnny) everyone and everything else.

[Brett66]

McCain reminds me of Butters.

[Trajan88]

is this the guy that shows up on Fox's "Fox and Friends" morning show? If so... this dude is a goof.

[dangus]

>> Good, now he can run for Congress on the Moron Party ticket. <<

You think the Democrats would nominate him???

[tlb]

>>>“He was doing a radio show that was just as good for a station in Tucson, Ariz., as it was for Chicago,” Nyren said. "The problem from our point of view is that we wanted a show for Chicago.

That's hard to argue against. There is just too much prepackaged and syndicated radio shows. Local focus and sensibilities are being squeezed out in favor of homogenized babble. Local flavor and personality in broadcasting should be encouraged.

Moron Party ticket - DemoRat?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Chicago?

[Drammach]

XM or Sirius..

From what I have read elsewhere, Mancow has indicated that he holds a very low opinion of satellite radio, likening it to a pyramid scheme, designed to enrich those at the top, and leave everyone else holding the bag..
He compared it to Enron..

Considering, I doubt very much whether he will go with satellite radio..
Look for another venue..
Possibly internet, or wireless, cell-phone service downloads, etc..
Maybe he will try opinion pieces done on podcast, I don't know..

He's been around for quite a while and survived in a dog-eat-dog business..
I would guess he will survive, one way or another..

Stern disappeared from the face of the earth after he went to Sirius. He lost 80% of his audience since they were too cheap to pay for Sirius.

And I say good riddance. He is and will always be a limosine liberal.

When my book, "America's Victories: Why the U.S. Wins Wars and Will Win the War on Terror," first came out in May, Mancow was the VERY first one to schedule an interview. On the morning I was supposed to be on, I held on the line for almost half an hour while he went on a rant . . . then the producer said, "He's running a little long. Can we reschedule?" They never did. Listening to him was funny, but it took up quite a bit of my time for nothing.
