Mancow to Agar, Darla Jaye: Shut Your Pie Holes!
Enough already…
Kansas City radio export Erich Mancow Muller has had about enough of the rumor being floated here since he took over former 980 KMBZ host Jerry Agar’s slot on Chicago superstation WLS 890 AM last year.
“How about the truth?!” emailed 980 KMBZ host Darla Jaye last November after I reported the change in the Star. “Hey H., if you had done some actual research or investigating…it would have been easy to find out the TRUTH.”
Jaye’s version of the “truth”?
“Mancow didn’t TOPPLE Jerry Agar,” Jaye wrote. “He is BUYING that time slot! Jerry earned the spot on WLS, and Mancow PURCHASED it! Why don’t you write about that, Hearne?”
Consider it done…
“That’s just not true,” Mancow says of Jaye’s accusation. “if I was paying for it, I would tell you. (WLS) offered me money and we signed a multi-year deal.”
While Agar’s ratings were decent, good even, “I’ve had a name in Chicago since 1994 and I just had my highest ratings ever,” Mancow says. “They pay me, I don’t pay people to do my show – it’s a joke – it’s ludicrous. It’s a lie, and by the way I confronted (Jerry) in the hall and he said he never said that. He still does fill-in work for WLS. Since I took over for Jerry Agar the ratings are up 135 percent.”

Mancow is a worthless human. A total waste of space and his idiotic show just shows that WLS is only interested in dumbing down the morning listeners.

Einstein said that genius is the ability to distinguish the important from the unimportant.
Agar, Jaye and Muller are not important.
