Mancow Signing off on The Loop 97.9 Chicago

[@dannycrockett9878]

Man I remember everyone wearing their LOOP tees in the 70's in High School. Wow .... Disco Demo with Dahl and Garry ... Brandmeir and then Mancow .... Loved it all

[@HarryPotterfan9467]

This was my Childhood. Thank you for everything

[@jasonm9024]

One of the greatest radio stations in Chicago...now it's gone! What a shame.

[@robertpreston2220]

It sucked

[@JustinColeYT1]

The Loop essentially moved to WKQX HD 2

[@durielroberts9986]

I'm from Chicago and this is a sad day for my hometown! So long WLUP-FM!

[@ronaldburns4746]

Cow got me thru so many crappy mornings and the crew will dearly miss them all god bless to all of them

[@TheAtomicBurrito81]

Thanks for posting. Man this sucks. RIP 97.9. Thanks Mancow for all the memories.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Wow this is really the end of an era! I grew up listening to the loop! Is always been one of my favorite station. Chicago is NOT Chicago without the loop! But I guess we live in a different era and times are changing, I never thought the loop was going to leave us, is a Chicago iconic rock and roll station. And now what do we have?! Nothing!! Mancow! I've been listening to you since the beginning. And when you came to the loop! You made this station complete. I hope somehow you comeback, And with the loop! But that's wishful thinking I guess! Thanks for the memories! I will miss all of you dearly:-( the loop thank you for the great memories you brought to all of us every day:-(

[@Yeiyn343]

I was disappointed turning on the radio this afternoon to hear a completely different station. We already lost 104.3 and I barely hear Stevie Nicks and others on the radio. 100.7 Hard Rock is really fuzzy, 103.9 Hard Rock is fuzzy, and all we have left is 97.1 the Drive. Well, and 94.7 WLS.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Very true! It's hard to find a real good station now, well like you said! We unlist have the drive and wls. Also q101. But it'll never be the same again! Nothing quite compares like loosing the loop :-(

[@robertpreston2220]

They never rocked though

[@vexxevxevvex2622]

This is complete BS. How can one of the greatest stations in Chicago radio history just disappear out of nowhere!?!?!?!? Because of the whim of some random Christian station chain? I'm a Christian and openly welcome KLOVE to Chicago. But overtaking one of the only remaining gems in Chicago rock radio.... is just wrong. If this really is the end, then thank you for being the best preset on my car's radio and for all of the years of great music, shows, hosts, and history. Chicago will never forget the Loop.

[@Dave-qb1iq]

VeXeR ShObOx and Chicago already had one k-love station 94.3

[@davemicus7271]

VeXeR ShObOx I'm gonna start a go fund me page to start the next best rock station in Chicago

[@guyazbell7437]

VeXeR ShObOx I agree

[@DionysusAlS]

@@davemicus7271, try 97.1 The Drive

[@frankblack1014]

Didnt cow say that Rauner or someone owned the loop? Mancow always spoke his mind about the shitty politicians here and so on. This was def a political statement and politicians sont gaf about the ppl. No reason the loop shoulda been pulled

[@KeitrenGraves]

When I found out about this I legitimately cried. I've been listening to this radio station since I was born. I know there were people that have been around a lot longer but this is something I grew up with and this is the kind of music my parents raised me on and now that it's gone I feel like a little bit of me is gone.

[@guyazbell7437]

I can not believe The Loop is becoming a thing of the past! unbeleivable! I started listening to the Loop in 77 or there abouts, memorys where do you even begin? Rush 2112, Aerosmith Get your wings, OzzyOzborn, VanHalen, AC./DC ,Billy Idol, Judas Preist, Nazereth, all the arena rock bands of the 80,s Steve&Gary and Cliff doing there talk show thing was Excellant a salute to all that worked at the Loop for almost half a century of Excellant work God Bless all you Guys and you too Mancow!

[@robertpreston2220]

Please this city is filled with pussy stations like this

[@DanielVargas-qo3oe]

WOW!!!!!!!! Just found out... My forever memory is September 11 , 2001 Brings chills every year. Can’t wait to hangout with ya one day. Chicago / New Orleans. ✌🏼

[@rtbarnes4893]

Mancow is a friend of mine. Great guy..

[@crisbwilliams]

Wish he would have run as a Republican for governor in Illinois so he could have a chance at winning...

[@rtbarnes4893]

@@crisbwilliams Would love to see him win! I want to stay in the guv's mansion!...

[@prosperandgamble]

I still listen to old shows on the Podcast app. Still funny as ever.

[@Sen.StevenArmstrong]

I don’t wanna live in a city where Mancow’s gone and Eric and Kathy are still on the air. Fuck this.

[@danielrice7234]

Sen. Steven Armstrong you don't have to buddy. Kathy is long gone but unfortunately Eric is not...

[@MelBee128]

You don't. Kathy unexpectedly stopped showing up to work months ago and was released from her contract. They found her not being there had zero effect on listeners. Lol

[@777Eliyahu]

The Drive sucks...

[@ir10031981]

Steve Dahl > Mancow Muller.

[@Dave-qb1iq]

Cow is back WLS 890 6 TO 9

[@Brianvanmoustache]

Funny thing is 97.9 became a Christian rock station. & the very very last song they played on the station before it switch was 'highway to hell"

[@couchwarrior2449]

Love Mancow Muller. He was on the air in my hometown back in the day, controversial, funny, real, honest.

[@patrickharvey158]

God I miss the loop so much Chicago isn't the same and the drive just doesn't hold up

[@davee6748]

How this station didnt last blows my mind. Mancow was my morning in the 90s.

[@clasrock69]

Mr. Mad cow Muller I was born and raised in Chicago now I'm 50 years Young I can always remember the loop as the backbone of rock and roll in Chicago mister Mancow Mueller I love the show that you had with your brother if I remember correctly your brother's motto was God family and guns I love the way that he would take almost anything as a trade in for a car loved your show on the radio lots of rock and roll and lots of funny stuff I'll be praying for you and your brother keep rocking🙏🎸

[@clasrock69]

@Mike Raffphone yes I am 53 years slightly seasoned🙏😎✌️

[@manifestgtr]

I’m not from Chicago and I’ve never lived there but I’ve loved it every time I’ve been. The loop was a legendary enough station that even I, being from Boston, was well aware of it. Its demise is just depressing as all hell. Just like wccc in Hartford and wbcn in Boston, it feels like the death of a beloved institution. The state of rock music in the world is so abysmal, man. It hurts my heart.

[@The_kookclub]

This was my childhood back when they had him playing on knoxville Tennessee. Crazy

[@destineysmirage7339]

For 8 months ive been trying to look for this station again just to find out its gone.

[@JustinColeYT1]

WKQX HD 2

[@ElfHostage]

It was a big news story when the last song was “highway to hell”.

[@cynthiamcgrath6983]

Wish, you all the best! God bless, it’s not easy. I was throwing a bit of a side of humor, in. The day that I read this and posted it to my page. I’m just a fan. 🤗 Geez, is this true? Just sorry, to see you go. I have, listened to many community stations, No harsh words. Thank you, too, for the memories. God bless, the new station.

[@jamesrobbins3566]

Mancow will definitely return... somewhere.

[@Dave-qb1iq]

He might be returning to 890 wls first of the year to do mornings

[@robertpreston2220]

Trash like him lol

[@jesusnodal8948]

I miss the Loop so much!!!

[@DeLuna29]

Love the Mancow and Loop

[@Dave-qb1iq]

6 to 9. 890 WLS

[@bkrbyex4339]

Did you get his final broadcast on WLS am 890 on Wednesday morning on November 25th?... (black Wednesday)

[@crisbwilliams]

No, I missed that...

[@thenied7431]

does anyone know if he’s on the air anywhere now? what’s happening with him right now?

[@Dave-qb1iq]

Hes on 890 wls 6 to 9 started in 2019

[@fatimamovement]

Geez, the Loop is gone. I had a Loop bumper sticker on my big wheel back in 1979.

[@7viewerlogic670]

Nice!

[@KQOAmericanLady]

Our 97.9 in Maryland was hurt too

[@7viewerlogic670]

Did you get Mancow signing off WLS on 11/25/2020? I was listening but got a phone call I had to take the last few minutes!

[@crisbwilliams]

Nope missed that.

[@salvagemonster3612]

Isn’t he on a some 250 watt AM station now doing hog reports in Illinois?

[@rickdiaz7239]

It is truly a shame what has happened to Rock Radio in Chicago. ONE oldies rock station left, XRT doesn't count as rock. Mancows still out there, thank god, just look for him....

That’s cool, but I miss the whole crew

[@quicklude504]

Hopefully the money that controls the airwaves are not dumb enough to just let them go.If they come back I will listen. They will be missed

[@billcosby8603]

The last piece of Chicago is gone. My chest hurts when I think about how great Chicago was. It was the best. The true Chicago is gone

[@n9amiwavelengthradio]

Mancow NO Thanks copy of a copy.. Steve N Gary, Johnny B, Matthews. were the masters. Mancow was not a innovator he was just a copy.

[@scottbailey1560]

May l also add it's mid June of 2018. Where is Mancow? Where did he go? Yeah, yeah, he got on The Loop and National TV, roughed up some liberal and conservative collars, people listening in the morning communite, beating the steering wheel, mad at his opinions, but there is a happy, warm, caring side to Mancow. My hope he returns to Terrestrial Radio, not XM/Sirus! Many of us can't afford XM/Sirus. Maybe a big 50,000 Watt, Major AM Station will hire him. What's wrong with AM? It's missing talent like Mancow!

[@Dave-qb1iq]

Scott WLS 890 hired him his old boss got him back 890 WLS 6 TO 9

[@scottbailey1560]

@@Dave-qb1iq Hey Dave, let me get this right, he is on WLS in the mornings, as of this posting. I can listen to 890 WLS, on line. As we get closer to the 2020 Election, it's gonna be great to have him back on!

[@MPM.Mikus.P.]

The sad thing about The Loop is they had a lot of concert and fest promos to do and pissed it away for generic quality HD radio, that costs more then a large screen HD TV.#@WTF?! That's irresponsible.

[@paulaw4]

i miss that jagoff , mornings driving aren't the same

[@daveh2612]

There's always a lot of criticism to go around about Mancow but the Morning Madhouse got me through high school and was something I looked forward to each day. I had to get to class but always wanted to ditch school and head over to where Turd was going to be that day. I was too young or distracted to really notice political leanings or other controversial stuff, I just liked the morning zoo routine and it was funny and familiar.

[@kungfew8432]

Mancow for goodness sake man do your own podcast like Joe Rogan or Kevin Smith!

[@crisbwilliams]

Last song played was copyrighted and has been removed- (A) Face In The Crowd by The Kinks.

Mancow's Favorite Band, The Kinks, How Dare them! Bunch Damn Anti Trump Democrats! Probably "AOC" had it done! She hates us!

So sad man 😔

Cow the crew morning's suck without you guys no other show will ever replace you God bless you all you made every morning a blast. Someone needs to get on the ball and get you back on the air.101 ASAP

[@Joe-eb8vc]

Lol. Hack Howard Stern impersonator booted off the air in Chicago for the 2nd time.

[@JRKar434]

Very appropriate that Mancow ends with his theme song which is a complete ripoff of the Garry Shandling show.

[@tomwhite9481]

He was and the best Chicago had, Chicago radio sucks RIp The Loop Last one out of WLS turn off thr light's

[@ir10031981]

fortunately for Mancow, he is coming to WLS 890, and Steve Dahl is gone, and the fact that as of today 1-1-2019, WLS 890 has now gone all conservative, that is Mancow Muller's saving grace, he should thank his lucky stars he's back on the radio beginning Thursday 1/3.

[@robertbarnes6704]

Thank you mancow.

[@ir10031981]

what Mancow Muller once did to Janet Dahl, defaming her, not cool man, not cool! so I have no remorse for Mancow Muller, I don't feel sorry for him if he's done. Dahl > Mancow. I used to be a fan on Mancow back in 1999-2000, well back then I didn't know any better.

I remember mancow in uh, fuck, uh, tampa I think it was. he was with bubba back then. didn't know he moved to Chicago because I left florida myself. okay, I wiki'd mancow and find out it is a different guy with the same broadcast name. I thought they always used different names. maybe you guys liked him but when I heard the voice on this utube I knew it was different. sorry about the Christians being able to buy such a successful network...
