<\/a> Erich Mancow Muller<\/p><\/div>\n

Veteran Chicago radio personality Erich Mancow Muller has dropped the lawsuit he filed against his boss, saying the two had agreed to put past differences behind them and work together amicably.<\/p>\n

On his first day back from vacation as morning host at Cumulus Media classic rock WLUP FM 97.9,<\/a> Muller confirmed Wednesday that he withdrew the suit after meeting last month with Marv Nyren, vice president and market manager of Cumulus Chicago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited about our relationship in 2018,\u201d Muller said. \u201cOur relationship a decade ago was awful. But people change, and I really believe he\u2019s a sincere cat who\u2019s looking after my best interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Marv Nyren<\/p><\/div>\n

Shortly after Nyren was hired in November, Muller sued him<\/a> in Cook County Circuit Court, claiming he had \u201csuffered emotionally and physically with the prospect that Nyren will continue his efforts to retaliate against him.\u201d The suit sought unspecified monetary damages.<\/p>\n

Muller\u2019s court filing recounted numerous incidents around the time Nyren fired Muller from WKQX FM 101.1, when Nyren was regional vice president and market manager for Emmis Communications, then owner of the alternative rock station. In 2007 Muller sued Nyren and Emmis for $6 million for allegedly making false and disparaging statements as part of a \u201cpattern of malicious acts\u201d against Muller. That suit ended with an undisclosed settlement in 2011.<\/p>\n

The latest suit was intended to \u201cprevent the pattern of retaliation that has occurred in the past from continuing in the future,\u201d according to Muller's attorney. But now it\u2019s just a memory.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday Nyren said he was \u201cglad to be working with Mancow again and appreciating his talents and all he means to Cumulus Chicago without any distractions,\u201d adding: \u201cNo one is a bigger fan of his show today more than me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muller described Nyren as \u201cvery gracious\u201d in their meeting, saying: \u201cI was brought up to believe that when somebody says they\u2019re sorry, that\u2019s it. He said we\u2019d had a bad relationship before, and if I\u2019d give him a chance he\u2019d be my biggest advocate. We\u2019re all a little bit wiser hopefully. I shook his hand and said, \u2018Let\u2019s go to work.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me it\u2019s a very beautiful story,\u201d Muller added. \u201cI get very choked up by it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
