I'd like to see Mancow on XM. His routines on Fox and freinds are funny as hell.
After this past election when it was determined that John Kerry had lost the election, Mancow said about those who were still trying to claim voting fraud. YOOOUUUU LOST. NOW SHUT UP!!!!
LOL
I know Opie and Anthony have their loyal folowing on here, but Mancow is much funnier that O and A in my opinion.
I guess many on here do not like Mancow because he has a conservative slant in his humor. |

Well, most shock radio morning shows are rip offs of Howard. Howard is the pioneer of this kind of radio. O and A are certainly Howard rip offs also.
Mancow will probablly eventually branch off as a conservative talk show host.
I have only seen and heard Mancow on Fox and Freinds. He fits in that format rather well.
When conservative comics come along, it makes people nervous. |

| I think he's hilarious. I guess because we're close in age. I would love to hear him on XM. I've only seen him on Fox & Friends as well. He would fit in on XM166. |

| I would also love to see Mancow on XM. Keep in mind that his spots on Fox and Friends are totally different than his radio show. I know that he has entertained deals from Fox and NBC to host his own TV show. I don't know if Q101 here in Chicago is trying to drop him, or if this is because he has such a following? With him interviewing for other job possibilities, I guess we can not count out that he would ever end up on XM, but I think they would have to pay a high price for him. Chicago Magazine reported at the end of 2004 the highest paid Chicagoans. Mancow made the list, but I can't remember how much. |

| He just signed another 2 year contract about a month ago with Emmis Communications and some true syndicating. So, the only way he'll come over is if he really pisses off the station, or gets tired of them and breaks the contract which would be extremely expensive. |

I hear you can get out of a contract with Emmis by singing a tsunami song.

I have no way to listen to Mancow right now except for the few mornings a year I am in the Chicago area.
I would like to hear Mancow on XM. |

| All I've heard of Mancow is what Opie and Anthony played of him ripping on them after the St. Pats debacle. He was trying to come off as being all moral and conservative, but he's pushed the envelope in his day too. I think there's a bit of a double standard on his part. |

I'm all for having something for everyone on XM, but is this the best example you can come up with to showcase Mancow's "funny as hell" humor? |

Sadly, it probably is.

Yeah, Mancow was okay in like middle school, now I don't find him funny at all. I'm in Chicago and have no desire to listen to him. He does come off as a Stern wannabe, except a lot of his guests are off the street (not all, famous people do go on), like 3 years ago some guy bet his life that on Thanksgiving something would happen with the air and everyone would drop dead and Mancow took it seriously and was trying to spread the word. I hate their supporting cast too. Also, he used to be on Rock 103.5, which was one of the best stations on radio, and there are rumors that he stold their money and helped shut them down.  |

So the guy bet his life...did Mancow collect?
