MANCOW MULLER AND PAT CASSIDY FIRED FROM WLS

Mancow Muller and Pat Cassidy Fired From WLS

|Updated May 25, 2011


Popular Chicago radio personality Mancow Muller was fired from his job as midday
personality on news and conservative talk station WLS-AM Wednesday after only 16
months, a move Muller said had "no rhyme or reason."

Muller, along with co-host and radio veteran Pat Cassidy, had the 9 a.m. to 11
a.m. slot at WLS, but were fired following their Wednesday show. WBEZ's Robert
Feder reports that the duo will be replaced with Cisco Cotto.

Cotto has been co-hosting Roe Conn's afternoon show on WLS since last month and
"Conn and Cotto did not mesh particularly well on the air," Feder writes.

As for Muller, he was pretty shocked about the news:

"There's no rhyme or reason to this business," Muller said. "I've stopped trying
to figure it out. I thought we were doing a great show. I think it had a lot of
interesting elements, and I'm proud of the show we did."



The station, which also features Rush Limbaugh's syndicated show, is working to
"restore credibility to conservative talk," WLS President and General Manager
Michael Damsky told Feder. No word on what restoring the station's "credibility"
means for Limbaugh.

"Mancow has been an outstanding talent and an ideal employee in every respect.
Unfortunately, he does not fit the needs of the radio station as we try to
fulfill a very clear vision of what listeners expect," Damsky said.

Muller has had a long and tumultuous career in Chicago. He was fired from Q101
in 2006, and then filed a lawsuit over the firing. The libertarian Muller
continues to host a nationally syndicated morning show for the Talk Radio
Network.

The conservative Muller made national news in May when he was waterboarded on
video and proclaimed that it, indeed, was torture.
