Mancow’s Morning Madhouse is an American radio show hosted by Erich “Mancow” Muller. The show is broadcast to a number of markets of mainly FM radio stations throughout the United States.
The live broadcast of the show was briefly halted on July 11, 2006 when Q101 discontinued the airing of the show. From the mid 90's till mid 00's, it was one of the top morning shows in Chicagoland, and earned airtime in various cities across America. Mancow's Morning Madhouse has resumed live broadcasting on July 18, 2006 nationally through Talk Radio Network and heard over 34 of its network affiliates. Ironically the show cannot be heard over the Chicagoland airwaves, where the show originated, at this time due to the current lack of a local affiliate in the area. The show is rated #14 in the Talkers Magazine Heavy 100.[1]
History
Mancow first started his show in Chicago, Illinois in 1994, shortly after his departure from California. Originally, the show was a regular program on WRCX-FM (Rock 103.5) located in the John Hancock Center. In 1998, he left WRCX-FM in favor of WKQX-FM (Q101) (101.1), an alternative rock radio station.
Mancow’s career with Q101 was cut short on July 11, 2006, when the station’s management decided to discontinue airing show as of July 14. In order to fill the gap left behind by the show’s absence, Q101 filled the void with the station’s “On Shuffle” music programming and later a new show titled "The morning fix"[1].
On July 13, Mancow appeared on Fox News Chicago, and lashed out at Q101’s current management. The station’s management considered him a loose cannon. Before the interview ended, Mancow promised he would not only return to the Chicago radio scene, but also bring forth a radical change, either within the next six or twelve months [2] [3]. [4]
Roster
Current Roster
Main Cohorts:
- Al Roker, Jr., (born Ken Smith on August 2, 1967), is the main sports commentator, and currently one of the main cohorts.
Smith, a large African-American, was reportedly nick-named "Al Roker, Jr." by show host Erich "Mancow" Muller, after Muller saw in Smith a resemblance to and as a parody of Al Roker, the NBC weatherman and Food Network show host, primarily because both were overweight African-Americans. Al Roker had also published a book (Don't Make Me Stop this Car: Adventures in Fatherhood) describing his inability to conceive a child, which also contributed to Al Roker Jr's name. This has drawn criticism from many outraged African-Americans, considering this joke "racist and bigoted."

FCC problems
Mancow's Morning Madhouse ran afoul with the FCC's indecency regulations in at least six separate incidents during 2000 and 2001. As a result, the FCC levied $42,000 in fines on Emmis Communications, the licensee of Mancow's then-home station WKQX-FM. In 2004, Emmis Communications signed a consent decree with the FCC sharply restricting indecent content and requiring the payment of $300,000 to the US government. [5][6]
