Erich ‘Mancow’ Muller will end his two year run in mornings at Cumulus Media Conservative Talk 890 WLS Chicago on November 25.
Muller joined WLS at the end of 2018 after hosting mornings on defunct Classic Rock 97.9 WLUP. He previously co-hosted 9-11am at WLS with Pat Cassidy in 2008 and 2009. He is best known for his runs in mornings at “Rock 103.5” WRCX from 1994-1998, Alternative “Q101” WKQX from 1998-2006, and WLUP from 2015-2018. Earlier in his career he co-hosted mornings at KBEQ Kansas City, KDON Salinas, and KYLD San Francisco and later hosted a show for Talk Radio Network.
In explaining his departure, Muller told Robert Feder, “Much of the enjoyment I had left doing radio has been sucked out of it. Alone in an office building with no guests and endless rules is not my idea of a creative process. . . . For me, no interaction has been the radio kiss of death. Talking during this political season and hearing endless tales of woe from my listeners has been radio without joy.” Muller’s contract was set to expire at the end of the year and Cumulus Media VP/Market Manager Marv Nyren told Feder the decision was mutual and that neither side had initiated negotiations on a contract renewal.
