Mancow is a South Park conservative. I listen to his show from time to time. Funny stuff.
Good, now he can run for Congress on the Moron Party ticket.
Clinton?
is this the guy that shows up on Fox's "Fox and Friends" morning show? If so... this dude is a goof.
>>>“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.
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.
Naw . . . what you are is a poor imitation of Howard Stern.
I've tried listening to his syndicated show, but it's just too disjointed for me.

Just saw him on F&F. His bosses did not like the fact that 9/11 changed him. He is now married, has children, and is a Christian - and lets everyone know that. He had rather talk politics than just do music.
I can't remember the source for sure, but I think it was Groucho that said that there are only two things in the world -- funny and not funny. Mancow is funny. (Al Franken is not funny.)
I've noticed that the "BS" word has been excised from "Money" on most rock stations now. I mean, they let Howard Stern air all sorts of pornographic garbage, and they take "BS" out of "Money"?
So bring Mancow back to his roots - Kansas City.
That was one of the more confusing articles I've ever read. J-School graduates just ain't what they used to be.
Chicago also gave up on Kevin Mathews too; another mistake.
And a Conservative Shock Jock at that - the worst possible kind. Boy, it looks like Chicago radio has really gone down the crapper since I've left. Kevin Matthews is gone too huh? Not that he was Conservatve, but in that time slot on the FM he was the only thing to listen to. And Howard is gone too. So what's left? NPR. And Steve Dahl. And since he is an admitted Liberal he will be allowed to stay. The Liberal Thought Police are working overtime in Chicago. Now if they could just figure out a way to get rid of that effing Limbaugh. Give 'em time, just give 'em time. At least he's only on AM so nobody can listen to him at work. Same for that despicable WIND.
Yup, the Liberal Thought Police in Chicago are very good at keeping Conservative ideas out of the mainstream. You just listen to what WE tell you to and shut up.
Old thread, I know, but I feel this is pertinent as it happened just recently.
Here in Iowa, Mancow was taken off of 103.3 two days ago. He's no longer on the air on Lazer. Reading in the paper, the managers decided that his commentary was veering too far into a serious discussion/current events spectrum, and was not what they had in mind for their preferred listener base. Basically, he got crap-canned because of his politics. I guess come Springtime, the station will replace the timeslot with a local show they've been working on, and that (they say) will be just as good as Mancow's Morning Madhouse. It's another case of the management telling the listener what they want, and not the other way around.
Of course, it'll probably turn out to be disc jockey drivel sprinkled with terrible music here and there. Goodness...Mancow was all they had going for them, and they ditched him. :/
