    Wow this is really the end of an era! I grew up listening to the loop! Is always been one of my favorite station. Chicago is NOT Chicago without the loop! But I guess we live in a different era and times are changing, I never thought the loop was going to leave us, is a Chicago iconic rock and roll station. And now what do we have?! Nothing!! Mancow! I've been listening to you since the beginning. And when you came to the loop! You made this station complete. I hope somehow you comeback, And with the loop! But that's wishful thinking I guess! Thanks for the memories! I will miss all of you dearly:-( the loop thank you for the great memories you brought to all of us every day:-(

      I was disappointed turning on the radio this afternoon to hear a completely different station. We already lost 104.3 and I barely hear Stevie Nicks and others on the radio. 100.7 Hard Rock is really fuzzy, 103.9 Hard Rock is fuzzy, and all we have left is 97.1 the Drive. Well, and 94.7 WLS.

      Very true! It's hard to find a real good station now, well like you said! We unlist have the drive and wls. Also q101. But it'll never be the same again! Nothing quite compares like loosing the loop :-(

    When I found out about this I legitimately cried. I've been listening to this radio station since I was born. I know there were people that have been around a lot longer but this is something I grew up with and this is the kind of music my parents raised me on and now that it's gone I feel like a little bit of me is gone.

    This is complete BS. How can one of the greatest stations in Chicago radio history just disappear out of nowhere!?!?!?!? Because of the whim of some random Christian station chain? I'm a Christian and openly welcome KLOVE to Chicago. But overtaking one of the only remaining gems in Chicago rock radio.... is just wrong.
    If this really is the end, then thank you for being the best preset on my car's radio and for all of the years of great music, shows, hosts, and history. Chicago will never forget the Loop.

Rush 2112, Aerosmith Get your wings, OzzyOzborn, VanHalen, AC./DC ,Billy Idol, Judas Preist, Nazereth, all the arena rock bands of the 80,s Steve&Gary and Cliff doing there talk show thing was Excellant a salute to all that worked at the Loop for almost half a century of Excellant work God Bless all you Guys and you too Mancow!

    I’m not from Chicago and I’ve never lived there but I’ve loved it every time I’ve been.
    The loop was a legendary enough station that even I, being from Boston, was well aware of it. Its demise is just depressing as all hell. Just like wccc in Hartford and wbcn in Boston, it feels like the death of a beloved institution. The state of rock music in the world is so abysmal, man. It hurts my heart.

    There's always a lot of criticism to go around about Mancow but the Morning Madhouse got me through high school and was something I looked forward to each day. I had to get to class but always wanted to ditch school and head over to where Turd was going to be that day. I was too young or distracted to really notice political leanings or other controversial stuff, I just liked the morning zoo routine and it was funny and familiar.

    May l also add it's mid June of 2018. Where is Mancow? Where did he go? Yeah, yeah, he got on The Loop and National TV, roughed up some liberal and conservative collars, people listening in the morning communite, beating the steering wheel, mad at his opinions, but there is a happy, warm, caring side to Mancow. My hope he returns to Terrestrial Radio, not XM/Sirus! Many of us can't afford XM/Sirus. Maybe a big 50,000 Watt, Major AM Station will hire him. What's wrong with AM? It's missing talent like Mancow!
