As both PD and on-air personality, the "attitude" he developed, combined with this new musical "niche," resulted in astonishing acceptance in a very short time. Within 6 months it became a number one station. As a radio personality during this period, he won the Billboard Magazine Personality of the Year Award.

Voted one of the top 10 most controversial jocks ever. Loop listeners will hear the homecoming of the Liz Wilde show to WLUP almost 20 years to the day since her last broadcast in Chicago. Liz says, "Chicago is in my heart. I am a Midwestern girl born and raised in the area, but the 60 below wind-chill makes me cry in the winter...whew! I will no longer be wearing my diamond encrusted brass bra because it leaves frostbite marks on my sexy, luscious back fat!"

Week 4 - Mancow
' +
'

Mancow's radio career began while he was still in college. He got a job at KOKO-AM in Warrensburg as a late night control board operator. His role at the station gradually expanded until he got his own afternoon show. Among Mancow's fans was the general manager of KLSI-FM, Kansas City, who offered him a full-time job as head of station promotions. Muller accepted the position, plus a weekend air shift, while completing his final semester at Central Missouri State. After graduation in 1990 Mancow was hired as the morning drive air talent at Kansas City's KBEQ-FM, Q-104, where the Holy Moley & Maxx Show quickly rose to #1 in the ratings and helped Q-104 dominate the market.

'After his early hometown success, Mancow left Kansas City for a brief stint at KDON-FM in Monterey, California. Soon though Mancow headed north to San Francisco and KYLD-FM, "Wild 107". In 1993, Mancow made national headlines with a publicity stunt that caused a major traffic headache for the City by the Bay. Reacting to a story that President Bill Clinton tied up air traffic at Los Angeles International Airport for over an hour while getting a haircut from celebrity hairstylist Cristophe on Air Force One, Muller staged a parody of the incident on the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge during rush hour. He used vans to block the westbound lanes on the bridge while his then sidekick, Jesus "Chuy" Gomez, got a haircut.
