Mancow on 970 the Fan?

Mancow Muller is a ******nozzle...I did some work for their show back in 2001...and just seeing him out and about on occasion in Chicago...on some days he makes Bill O'Reilly look like less of a ******....I would like to say that he was cooler off air but, it is the opposite...also hates the way he milked his "friendship" with Chris Farley for years...I know a lot of people who were close to Chris Farley and they all have pretty much the same opinion of Muller...that macaroni assed bitch bucket!!!
 
I heard Mancow this morning. But did anybody hear anything weird going on? There were two guys talking on 2-way radio's that was overiding the audio on 970. Everytime one of them would cue up the mike the audio on 970 was completely muted out. One guy was on highway 49 and asked the other one where Jerry's Fish House was located. I don't know how long it went on because I came in in the middle of it. I occasionally have CB radio bleed into my stereo if someone cues up in front of my house, this was on a portable radio. It would be impossible for someone onhighway 49 to bleed in from that distance. I changed the station on the radio to couldn't hear it anymore so it was definitely coming from 970's transmision. It sounded like they had a 2 way radio wired directly to the board (the audio was crystal clear) or possibly the 2-way was overiding an STL. Any Ideas? Luckly nobody was cussing.
 
That used to happen to me when I lived in Atlanta (Gwinnett County to be exact). Whenever I tuned in to 100.5 (Q100 at the time), I would get CB interference on headphone radios whenever I was outdoors. 100.5's signal wasn't very strong there and I-85 was in my backyard, so the truck traffic that came with it made for a lot of interference.

While on the subject of 970, they added the Paul Finebaum show from Alabama in the afternoons. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are no local shows on 970 now (save the play-by-play for some local high school--Brandon maybe?), when, at one point, there were four local shows. Methinks 970 might've overplayed their hand by entering the already crowded Jackson sports radio format.
 
It's Jackson Prep that they do play-by-play for.

The main person behind this was Max Howell. He for whatever reason has moved on to WDEF in Chattanooga.. I don't think the crowded sports market has as much to do with it as much as there was some restructuring among the people who installed the sports format on 970 in the first place. They had entered into an agreement to purchase the radio station, however it fell through.

Ken Rainey is operating the station again and is going to continue to run the sports format.
