Don’t look now, but one of the Cowtown’s baddest, bad boys is poised for a comeback…
Starting January 11, 2010, Randy Miller, of Q104 and ZZ99 fame will hit the ground running on KCPLRadio.com from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The name of Miller’s coming soon new on-air game: “Wake Up in KC weith Randy Miller. Mornings Will Never Be the Same.”
“It’s going to be the most exciting thing in the most exciting place in Kansas City,” Miller says. “We’re going to broadcast from the Savvy Coffee & Wine Bar and we’ll build a studio down there.” Continue reading

The year was 1990 and stunt-happy Q104 superstar DJ Randy Miller was at the height of his powers…
And just like the Power & Light District’s planned New Year’s Eve Cash Cannon promotion tonight, Miller had decided to shower locals with thousands of dollars in cold, hard cash at what he describes as a “Free Money Parade”
“I announced the parade that morning,” Miller says. “And we decided to go with just three vehicles in the parade so we wouldn’t have to get a permit, so we only used the station van and mobile studio and a white stretch limo. Then we took $7,500 and rolled it up in tubes so we could throw them.”

This just in, from Stanford & Sons main man Craig Glazer…
That fabled Kansas City radio riotmaster Randy Miller – whose on-air antics during the 80s, 90s and early 2000s are the stuff of legend – may be poised to return to the airwaves.
However not in the Cowtown.
“I was told that the big news was Randy Miller would be on the air middays in Chicago going up against Mancow,” Glazer says. “That it’s a firm deal and he’s starting May 1st. So he’s up – batter up!”
If true, it would go down on Chicago talk station WGN 720 Radio where Miller has appeared as a guest DJ. If he goes up against former protege Mancow, Miller would slot in from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., in a spot currently nailed down by a rather vanilla-sounding Kathy and Judy show. Kathy and Judy are currently conducting a – yawn – “Become Your Best Britney” contest. Continue reading
