KOKO was the first radio station that radio host Erich "Mancow" Muller worked at, beginning in 1985. Growing from overnight board operator up to host of his own show, Erich learned his art, and exhibited his fearless persona. One example is when he reported a "story" that the Johnson County government had sold the Old Drum statue, currently out front of the courthouse, to actor Paul Newman, who was filming in the area. A general uproar occurred before it was truthfully reported that the statue was not for sale. Erich went on to host popular morning shows in Monterey, San Francisco and Chicago.
