  NUDE HIPPO GUEST BIO! - GARRY MEIER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Meier declined to discuss his salary demands in specific, but he pointed to Arbitron ratings that show Conn and Meier's show consistently at or near the top of the market in every significant demographic group.
Meier, 54, acknowledged that he has had a history of "contentious" negotiations with WLS since he rejoined the station and teamed up with Conn in 1996.
Garry grew up, so to speak, in Chicago and says living in the city that has the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw is truly inspiring.

 Steve Dahl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1979 Steve was hired to do a morning show at WLUP where he met up with overnight newsman Garry Meier (under the pseudonym of "Matthew Meier.") Shortly thereafter, Steve and Garry began a crosstalk that eventually led to Garry being teamed up with Steve as both sidekick and newsman.
Steve and Garry went to WLS, but ultimately returned to WLUP where they stayed until their break up in 1993.
The reason for the break up was Steve’s on the air comments about Meier’s new wife, commercial real-estate broker Cynthia Fircak, while the couple were on their honeymoon.

 Mental multivitamin: We miss Garry Meier.
Talk-show veteran Meier has been working with Conn for eight years, and their partnership has nearly reached the legendary status of Meier's previous on-air partnership with Steve Dahl.
Meier's contract expires next Wednesday, February 18, and according to sighs and murmurs during the Roe Conn [sans] Garry Meier program, a settlement is nowhere in sight.
We don't expect you to be terribly interested, but, well, we miss him, and we suspect that the geography of Chicago's imagination will suffer if Conn and Meier take their "schitckl" and their Canarble Wagon to another city.

Meier, who has been off the air since January, chose not to accept what bosses of the Disney/ABC-owned station called their final offer.
On the other hand, Meier's former partner, Roe Conn, is expected to agree to a new long-term renewal with the station.
Zemira Jones, president and general manager of WLS, denied a published report that "the door at the station is being held open" for Meier by Conn. "After making a final offer to Garry Meier and not receiving a timely response, we have withdrawn the offer with finality," Jones said.

Garry Meier, a longtime radio show host in Chicago, has been for all practical purposes exiled from Chicago to Los Angeles and other points.
Meier’s shows were always popular regardless if they were on FM stations or on the 50k watt WLS 890 AM.
However, with the pressure to cut costs so as to maintain already bloated profit margins, even the most popular radio show hosts are suceptible to the axe.

 WLS-890AM "Nutcracker" Broadcast [Free Republic]
Yesterday, 12/8, my wife and myself attended the WLS-890AM Roe Conn and Garry Meier's "Nutcracker" live broadcast at the Tinley Park Convention Center starting at 2:00 P.M. WLS, as you may know, is considered a conservative talk outlet primarily because they carry Rush and Dr. Laura.
The Florida judges Lewis and Clark had already made their rulings in the Martin and Seminole county cases about 45 minutes earlier and these were cheered mildly when they were mentioned by WLS newsman Jim Johnson.
However, Roe and Garry, possibly thinking that us middle-aged slightly overweight fans were actually "Republican thugs" suddenly went to some loud canned music rather than the band to drown us out.

Due to existing contractual language, Meier's name and likeness cannot be used after 6p - all mentions of Meier were removed from www.wlsam.com late yesterday afternoon.

I grew up in Chicago and listened to what was then Steve and Garry (Meier) starting in the early eighties.
The attraction of Steve or Steve and Garry was that they spoke their minds and made fun of everything in a manner that didn't insult the intelligence of their audience.

Then at the end of August, with just over 10 months of the Stern show under their 3 year belt, the Loop pulled the plug on the show claiming it was becoming too risky to continue airing because of conflicts with the FCC over indecency.
This seemed a bit hypocritical and very hard to believe, since they were already involved with the FCC over refusing to pay a $6,000 fine for allegedly broadcasting indecent material on the Steve Dahl and Garry Meier show back in 1987 and '89.
In fact, the loop's parent company, Evergreen Broadcasting will actually beat Infinity Broadcasting into court to challenge how the FCC applies it's rules of indecency and whether it's constitutional.
