I had to smile a little when they showed the Q101 billboard that read "THIS IS NOT FOR YOU" and then cut to Samantha James in the studio rockin' out to "Runaround" by Blues Traveler. Yeah, Dad, you just don't get Blues Traveler.

Another highlight was Mancow doing a stunt where he pissed on and wiped his ass on a Kevin Matthews billboard (good radio there, 'Cow) followed by Kev casually calling him an asshole and "accidentally" referring to him as "Man Load or whatever."

There's some talk about Stern getting dropped from 1000 and moving to CKG (wasn't he carried on 1160 at some point before the Score moved there, too?), with Jimmy DeCastro explaining that Stern is very talented, but could never make it in Chicago because all his bits had been done here before. With no further on-camera explication of the subject, smash cut to Steve Dahl complaining that it's too much work to fuck a woman from behind.

He really is right. Particularly where there's a significant height differential, it's almost not worth the effort. Almost.

Not for long, at least not as channel 50. Fox bought channel 50 from Fred Eychaner a few years ago (Eychaner would use the windfall to start a liberal talk radio station, lol) and then sold the spectrum allocation back to the FCC (Fox getting rich off the government, lol) so they in turn can sell it to telecoms. It'll probably continue as a subchannel of channel 32 since they scooped up the CW affiliation from WGN, but there won't really be a WPWR anymore.

Wasn’t Channel 50 originally Channel 60? Then they moved down your UHF dial?

I always remember watching music videos after school on 60 - except for Thriller - only MTV could get that.

MV3, formerly MV60?

BTW, I don't remember MV3.

But that's about the lamest ripoff I've heard.

anyone else remember Mancow TV on channel 50? More specifically, does anyone remember the hot chick they had that would do weather and traffic during that time? Reddish/Brunette hair. Always played a "I Believe It's Silicon" riff of "I Believe In Miracles" whenever she'd get her segment going?

Mancow's channel 50 show was fairly recent, right? I think it was after his failed mid-morning show at 890, where someone thought it would be a dynamite idea to pair him with Pat Cassidy. The show answered the "what if PantherPisla worked at WBBM?" question that absolutely no one asked.

Does anyone else remember Brandmeier's short-lived Sunday night show on channel 5? Would have been around 2008, after the sports show where Score/1000 hosts took turns flirting with Paula Faris. It was weird.

It was one of those where you were like "is this a postmodern deconstruction of the tropes of late-night television?" before you realized no, just kinda crappy.
