Mancow Muller To Exit Mornings At WLS/Chicago

Mancow

MANCOW MULLER is leaving mornings at CUMULUS News-Talk WLS-A/CHICAGO, reports ROBERTFEDER.COM. MULLER, pointing to the pandemic leaving him "alone in an office building with no guests and endless rules" doing "radio without joy," told FEDER he will exit after NOVEMBER 25th's show.

Substitute hosts will take over the show on NOVEMBER 30th while WLS decides on a replacement; VPMarket Mgr. MARV NYREN told FEDER that he and PD STEPHANIE TICHENOR had narrowed the search down to three candidates.

Meanwhile, MULLER, who has been embroiled in a bitter dispute with celebrity pastor JAMES MACDONALD, told the ROYS REPORT that he blames MACDONALD's defamation lawsuit against CUMULUS and WLS for the end of his run at the station, saying that MACDONALD "soured the milk" of the relationship and that, in light of MACDONALD's $2.5 million settlement with his former church HARVEST BIBLE CHAPEL, he plans to "go back and I'm going to get every dime he got from HARVEST." He also said he may run for governor of ILLINOIS, advocating for a flat tax, prayer in schools, and eliminating cities' sanctuary status for immigrants, along with restrictions on public employees' pensions.

MULLER took over mornings at WLS in 2019; he earlier co-hosted middays on the station in 2008-10. His morning stints included stops at WRCX, WKQX (Q101), WLUP, and TALK RADIO NETWORK.
