It was no secret that Mancow Muller and Jonathan Brandmeier were not friendly (to say the least) when both were doing mornings for Emmis in Chicago – at WKQX-FM and WLUP-FM, respectively. Now that Brandmeier has also been cut loose from Emmis, as Mancow was in 2006, you might have wondered if Mancow would come to his defense. Nah!

“My old GM Marv [Nyren] would even have to admit that EVERYTHING I predicted has come to pass. Marv was from out of town and believed Johnny would have a huge comeback. I explained to Marvin that Johnny had gone to LA and thumbed his nose at Chicago and that this was actually Johnny’s third attempt at a return.
