: : The WGN Radio fill-in host for 1-4 this week is a bit of a surprise: Randy Miller. Who? Randy was a controversial Kansas City radio personality that gave a young Erich "Mancow" Muller his start in radio. Many credit Miller as being the #1 influence on Mancow.
: : All is not good between these two, though. Miller sued Mancow for both Libel & Slander after Mancow made several hurtful comments about him (and later his wife) on the air and in print. The case was eventually settled out of court, with money being awarded to Randy Miller.
: : Although he won't be going up directly against Mancow's WLS show, it is still some interesting counter-programming by WLS' rival, WGN.
: : Miller will be the host today through Thursday from 1pm-4pm and Friday from 1pm-2:30pm due to a Cubs Spring Training game.
: Why does WGN feel the need to insert Andrea Darlas into the mix. I'm just not getting that. I would think Randy Miller is completely capable of doing a radio show himself.
I said the same thing about Jerry Springer. I don't get it. It sounds forced, demeaning and out of place. This isn't Radio Idol.
