Mancow and His Ego Return to Chicago Radio

Eric "Mancow" Muller will be back on the airwaves in October on the Elmhurst station WJJG-AM 1530 with a three-hour morning show that will be replayed in the afternoon. Mancow sat down for an interview with Time Out Chicago's Robert Feder, and he managed to insult his former employer, the dearly departed Q101, while massaging his own ego. Apparently dominating six hours of air time isn't enough for him.

He said:

“While some of lesser ego may say that’s great, I say it’s not nearly enough. Just as with Q101 and Mancow, it’s tough to program around perfection. I’d like to suggest they run two shows at once.”

Q101 dropped his show in 2006, then he came back to Chicago on WLS-AM in October 2008. Sixteen months later, WLS-AM dropped Mancow's show with Pat Cassidy. The sole highlight of that show was when Mancow was waterboarded.

Clearly those setbacks haven't stopped him from loving himself. “I am the sole survivor," he told Feder. "The solitary fire burning brightest across the radio landscape.”
