Mancow's Final Show From Q101 July 14th
According to AllAccess EMMIS Alternative WKQX (Q101)/CHICAGO announced today (7/11) that the final broadcast of MANCOW'S MORNING MADHOUSE will air on the station on FRIDAY, JULY 14th.

On MONDAY, JULY 17th, Q101 will kick off a music-intensive "SUMMER OF SHUFFLE" to match Q101’s "ON SHUFFLE" programming the rest of the day hosted by longtime Q101 vet JAMES VAN OSDOL. Q101 is planning to launch a new morning show on SEPTEMBER 18th.

EMMIS/CHICAGO VP/GM MARV NYREN said, "It’s an exciting time here at Q101. ‘Q101 ON SHUFFLE’ which represents 85 percent of our weekly programming has proven to be incredibly popular with our listenership, which primarily is composed of individuals within the 18-49 demographic. In light of this, we’ve decided that the time has come for us to develop a morning show that will better serve the needs and sensibilities of this audience. These changes will provide our core listeners with a format that they can enjoy continuously, all day, every day."

EMMIS/CHICAGO VP/Programming MIKE STERN added, "MANCOW has been an enormous asset to Q101, and we’re grateful to him for his eight great years at the station. MANCOW is a tremendous talent, and we wish him all the best in his
future endeavors. While we are sad to part ways, for Q101 to continue to grow and expand our audience, we realize that it’s important for us to provide listeners with a morning show with broader appeal that better fits the tone of the rest of the station’s programming. We believe we have that show and will be excited to bring it to CHICAGO this FALL."

According to AllAccessThe rumored sale of trade newspaper RADIO AND RECORDS to rival BILLBOARD should be officially announced TODAY (7/6). Sources close to the situation tell ALL ACCESS that this is a done deal.

The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, a sister publication of BILLBOARD under the ownership of VNU, reports that the purchase will be announced TODAY and that "the future now appears uncertain for R&R" since BILLBOARD has its own BILLBOARD RADIO MONITOR in direct competition with the 33 year old industry publication. R&R, founded by BOB WILSON in 1973, was purchased by PERRY CAPITAL from WESTWOOD ONE in 1994.

While no one is yet officially commenting, speculation is that you will see a combined R&R/BILLBOARD MONITOR publication.
