I liked listening to mancow in the morning so that will be missed. I normally listened to shit on my phone on my way home so as others have said we will all adapt.

 

[DEEZUZ]

So is mancow still on? Will there be a farewell show?

 

[DEEZUZ]

In for q101 picking him up, him losing stupid Kathy and bringing back terd 3:16

He's got the whole world.... In his pants

Maybe I'm too damn old, but I listen to the LOOP all day except during that idiot in the morning.
Is their ratings so bad a religion channel will make more money???
How many people listen to a religion channel, I have never met anyone, EVER!!
Including an old G/F that was a religious nut job that went to church at least 3 times a week.

I guess it'll be between 87 & 97.1 only. This is sad sad news for us old guys.

That sucks. Not that I listen to that station a lot, but it is nice to have the choice to listen to them if I want to.



I think his net worth is like 10 million. I think he will be ok. Although he just bought a new home for 2 million. It will be interesting to see if he gets a new gig or not. And if it will it be in Chicago.

It isn't the first time Bible Thumpers have owned it. Years back Bonneville owned it, and they were a Mormon group if I recall... Although they really didn't do anything change wise with if vs. what EMF plans.

This has been in the works for awhile now. Merlin Media and Cumulus were in the courts if I recall over a purchase agreement and this seems to stem from that.

I'll be honest, the Loop has stunk since, well, the mid 90's and the late 70's through the 80's when you had Kevin Matthews (and Jim Shorts), Johnny B, Steve Dahl, etc... on the air. Ever since, they've had an identity crisis. Are we hard rock? Or are we Classic Rock? Do we dip into a little Alternative (like Q101 at the time), a little AOR (like the Drive), etc...

Q101 has sucked since they went alternative in the early 90's, mainly because they lost the big ratings driver... The Murphy in the Morning show, which was one of the biggest morning radio shows in Chicago at the time.

104.3 blows ass now. They took away a well produced "tight" (radio term), product in KHit's and replaced it with noise. Seriously, I came out from work one day started the vehicle, and that crap came blaring out. Anyway, their ratings are up now because everyone has tuned in to check it out, but we'll see if those ratings stick come November/December. It'll be a year since they flipped by that time and be telling of whether or not it'll be a promising format. As such, the exodus of K-Hit's listeners landed at WLS or if in the Western suburbs, 95.9 The River.

you guys know mancow is "pretty christian" right? watch the new station keep him and go different format

On 24 February 2009, Muller appeared on the Trinity Broadcasting Network Praise the Lord to talk about his Christian faith. Mancow's ability to

I think he saw the light about the time he got married.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Mancow does reference going to church at Willowcreek

 

[bmoore04]

Anyone who listens has to know he is religious. He has been talking about how god has a plan for him and he isn't worried about his job situation for like a month now.

 

[DEEZUZ]

He's a typical God when convenient guy...

He can talk about munchin Kathy's ass but then he's all churchy???

Sounds great to me, sin sin sin but then get on your knees and all is forgiven.. lol joke

 

[Yaj Yak]

knew that'd get a rise outchya

 

[CMNTMXR57]

You can still be a dirty old man Monday through Saturday and then repent on Sunday...

 

[DEEZUZ]

As long as the baskets full I guess

 

[Lead Pipe]

Bring back the Blaze.

Mancow is the absolute worst, I hope he never gets another radio DJ job.

I also stopped listening to 97.9 years ago for the same shit people were saying above. Mostly listen to 93.1 and 101.1. And when those have commercials go I rapid fire through a few other presets. If I'm REALLY not feeling the radio, I have a few Spotify playlists that I'll run through.

 

[Marko]

I Hated Mancow. He’s a bum

I can listen to anything on I want on Apple play. While driving

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I was never a fan either. I was (Still am) a Stern fan.

The music ends today.
I've listened since the beginning. This is a fucking shame.
To quote Steve Dahl, " I hope that they play Highway To Hell as the last song."

Don't they fucking dare touch 101.1

 

[Spivitz]

How do I get my 2011 Jeep to link up with my Android so I can access my 16 gigs of saved music...
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, that would win

 

[radioguy6]

depending on the topic, I could listen to Mancow in small doses. Sucks to see another Chicago rock station go, but was a matter of time. Terrestrial radio is dying.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Don't they fucking dare touch 101.1

They already did and when it came back it sucked. Now it's all the shitty indy pop bands with a couple decent songs sprinkled in.

Eehh, I'm OK with most of the music they play on it these days. I like a lot of the "indie" rock coming out, hence why I listen to 93.1 as well

I can't stand the garbage that sounds like it should be listened to around a camp fire while everyone passes around their favorite craft beer and talks about which beard balm they use.

I can't defend my taste in music...I'd call it...eclectic at best

If you guys are praising Q101, you must have not listened to the Rock. WAY better than Q101 and sucked when they turned into Kissfm.

If I radio, its AM sports, or XM.
