Just signed on to my AOL and I have it flagged to send me articles on Howie - and from Clear Channel Communication:

Howard Stern Show Taken Off Clear Channel Station:

(San Antonio) - 02/25/04: Clear Channel Radio has suspended the broadcast of Viacom's Howard Stern show consistent with its Responsible Broadcasting initiative announced earlier today. After assessing the content of yesterday's Howard Stern Show, Clear Channel worked with local market managers to take swift and decisive action.[hr]
"Clear Channel drew a line in the san today with regard to protecting our listeners from indecent contenet and Howard Stern's show blew right through it", said John Hogan, president and CEO of Clear Channel Radio. "It was vulgar, offensive, and insulting, not just to women and African American, but to anyone with a sense of common decency. We will not air Howard Stern on Clear Channel stations until we are assured that his show will conform to acceptable standards of responsible broadcasting" Hogan said.

then it bla bla about being based in San Antonio.....

on the web at www.clearchannel.com

SHOOT, Howard was right, the writing is on the wall.......I'm bummed and pissed off.... :mad:

Other than the people affected (other than a certain chiroQUACKtor), what really sucks is that Clear Channel is Infinity's main competitor and they just might be using this as a ploy to hurt the competition.

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=4439912


Clear Channel has about 1,200 stations in the United States. . . .

Stern's show is syndicated by Infinity Broadcasting, a unit of Viacom Inc.

A spokesmen for Infinity was not immediately available for comment and a Viacom spokesman declined comment.

Neither Stern's agent, nor producers for his New York-based radio program could be immediately reached for comment.

"We have a legal obligation to reject programming that's inappropriate for the airwaves, irrespective of any contractual relationship," said a Clear Channel spokesman.

how "shocking" it was that they would pick him up and carry his show in the first place.

Exactly!

And for those losing the signal, at least for now, you can still download the show from “that” website by mid-to-late afternoon, the same day of the broadcast, without all the hassles of newsgroups and alt-this-and-that.

And, it’s commercial-free!

This is UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE AND REGODDAMNDICILOUS!

The caller the drudge report article refers to is that guy Nicky. He also called in during the Jamie Pressly interview and asked her if she ever fucked a nigger. The guy is hilarious.

The most telling line in the article is "CC's President/CEO John Hogan will appear as a witness at tomorrow morning's House Telecommunications Subcommittee hearing on broadcast decency"

That pretty much says it all.

Winst is implying that this line:

"We will not air Howard Stern on Clear Channel stations until we are assured that his show will conform to acceptable standards of responsible broadcasting," Hogan said

Leaves the door open for them to put him back on the air once this stuff blows over. I doubt it.

Get a clue....like Bush had anything to do with this. There are planty of Republicans that love Howard, and there are plenty of democrats that hate Howard.

Howard wasn't forced off the air. Clear Channel made a business decision...plain and simple. Watch for Howard to be picked up by other channels in the markets affected.

This freakin' sucks. I'm now stuck in this damn city without a decent radio show.

There's no substitute for Howard. I'm sure as fuck not gonna listen to Bob & Tom. I guess it's CDs for the first 4 1/2 hours of my boring ass day.

Clear Channel owns every damn station in this town with any signal over 100 watts, so there's not even a chance another station will pick up Stern if 100.5 drops him completely.

This just really sucks. GODDAMMIT!

Given the current climate, shouldn't Howard have known better than to let that Nigger guy on the air?

Shouldn't Howard have kept him off the air for a bit until the smoke cleared and the dust settled from this whole Janet tit thing?

One can complain all day and night about the decision Clear Channel made, but let's not lose sight of the fact that a bad decision on Howard's (or whomever let the guy on the air) part triggered the Clear Channel REACTION.

And don't lose sight that CC is REACTING to the situation, not ACTING. They are responding to the lead-in Howard gave them with the Nigger guy and his comments.

He pushed the envelope at a time when not pushing it was the most prudent thing to do.

Blame the FCC, blame Clear Channel, blame Janet's tit, but don't let Howard off the hook completely in this.

CNN must HATE Howard. Look at how this story is worded... it makes it sound much worse than it really is right now.:

Howard Stern suspended for indecency

"The nation's largest radio chain has taken shock jock Howard Stern off its stations indefinitely for running afoul of new decency standards.

"We will not air Howard Stern on Clear Channel stations until we are assured that his show will conform to acceptable standards of responsible broadcasting," said a statement from John Hogan, president and CEO of Clear Channel Radio.

Clear Channel operates 1,200 stations nationwide. It was unclear how many of its stations currently run Stern, who is syndicated across the country by another company, Infinity Broadcasting. The suspension applies only to Clear Channel stations..."

Here's what did it...

"In dropping Howard Stern, Clear Channel cited a Tuesday radio transcript from a show where Stern spoke to Rick Saloman who was in the sex video with Paris Hilton. He was asked by Stern if he had anal sex and Stern made a reference to his penis size.

A caller to the show asked Saloman if he has had sexual relations with famous black women and used a racist term in asking. Stern's radio show is owned by Infinity Broadcasting which is a Viacom unit. Viacom also promises a crackdown on indecency."

Yea but he's not the only one affected. I would also venture a guess that him getting dropped from CC is only the begining. May not be time for the ACLU yet, but at the rate this bullshit is escalating, I think it is only a matter of time. Who the fuck are these people to tell me what is indecent? Smearing shit on a statute of the Virgin mary was not considered indecent, so how can they justify the word "anal" as being indecent? Its just wrong. The FCC should not be the ones to decide for the entire country what should be considered indecent. This country has already gone through this argument too many times in the past, but for some reason the FCC doesn't think they should be held to the same standard as everyone else in this country. They are forcing radio stations to censor their programing for everyone...where does it stop? My god they talked about giving the FCC the power to regulate satelite radio and cable TV? WTF????? Thats absolutely insane! Meanwhile my inbox is stuffed full of unsolicited pictures of scat-girls eating their own shit; the country's military are fighting overseas in two differenct countries and our original target is shooting off his mouth about how we are going to get nailed again; our fucking deficit is getting larger; and the governemnt decides they have to concentrate their energy on keeping statements about ejaculation off the airwaves?

My God you are a fucking moron. How does it feel not to be able to look at a single situation in an objective way? I'm saying this to you as a fellow registered Republican. You make me sick to be one.

You're trying to shift the blame to Howard for not buckling under the pressure of an uptight, idiotic, and hypocritical FCC? The guy should water down his own show and censor himself even beyond the rules his own general manager (who is in charge of making sure the government guidelines are followed on the station) makes him follow already? Way to stand up for what you believe in. Some balls you have. I can tell exactly how you REACT when you're challenged based on that post alone. You back down like the little girl that you are. If Howard had done what you suggest in past instances when people tried to stifle him, there probably wouldn't be a Howard Stern show at all right now.


But that's all a general REACTION to your oh so well thought out post. Let's really analyze what you're saying here.

Given the current climate, shouldn't Howard have known better than to let that Nigger guy on the air?
Translation: Howard should have succumb to the pressure of uptight control freaks in government and hung up/hit the dump button on a caller who said something which wasn't even against the constantly changing FCC guidelines which are unclear at best at any given moment of the day.

Shouldn't Howard have kept him off the air for a bit until the smoke cleared and the dust settled from this whole Janet tit thing?
Translation: It's Howard's fault for doing the same show he's been doing for 20 plus years. Howard should have known what is and what is not acceptable to broadcast (according to clear channel) despite the fact that their new rules didn't come out until after the comments in question had already aired. Once again Howard has displayed his total lack of responsibility by refusing to use his psychic abilities. He should have knew what these new standards were before they were put in place, and he should have obeyed them.

One can complain all day and night about the decision Clear Channel made, but let's not lose sight of the fact that a bad decision on Howard's (or whomever let the guy on the air) part triggered the Clear Channel REACTION.
Translation: Although pressure is being put on clear channel by a commission of conservative republicans with threats of fines, and indecency hearings, it is actually Howard Stern who is at fault here for allowing a caller to say the word "nigger" on the air.

And don't lose sight that CC is REACTING to the situation, not ACTING. They are responding to the lead-in Howard gave them with the Nigger guy and his comments.
Translation: If you are REACTING to something, you are clearly right, and if you are ACTING, you are clearly wrong regardless of the surrounding circumstances.

He pushed the envelope at a time when not pushing it was the most prudent thing to do. Blame the FCC, blame Clear Channel, blame Janet's tit, but don't let Howard off the hook completely in this.
Translation: Although Howard's show was cut up at 16 different points on the date in question, and although Howard didn't violate any FCC guideline as far as anybody whose job it is to know these guidelines could tell, it's still Howard's fault. And by the way, I'm a complete fucking moron with no ability to reason whatsoever. Did I mention I'm Rush Limbaugh's biggest fan? Mega Dittos.

The culture war has officially started. It was bound to happen the pendulum had swung way too the left. What you get is the conservative extremist fighting back the best way they can. Politics is about bringing in votes just like business is only about bringing money in. Personally I think it's time for Howard to make the largest stand in his life. I wish he would not align himself with any political extremist (i.e. Moore) and remind Americans what FREEDOM OF SPEECH is. Unfortunately lately he has spent his time just bashing Bush, ranting about letting gays get married, and Jay Leno. It's time for somebody (Joey Boots) to inform Howard that marriage is not actually a right and to stop wasting his time, but to rise up, gather his listeners and those who care about this country, march to the steps of washington, broadcast his show, barge into the hearings, and fight for his right to speak and all of our right to speak.

Here they are: (notice that 3 of them have the same number)

KDKA Radio - 412-575-2200
WBZZ - 412-920-9400
WDSY - 412-920-9400
WZPT - 412-920-9400

this is total bullshit - no joking anymore - where did our freedoms go?

Well, Bush said the terrorists hate us because of our freedoms, so we made sure we got rid of that shit right away.

So much for adults having the freedom to listen to whatever the fuck they like.

This sickens me to no end.

we should do what all the religious kooks do. call the the businesses that advertise on the pittsburgh station and tell them you wont patronize their business until the station puts howard back on. hit clear channel where it hurts...right in the wallet.
fuck clear channel, fuck the fcc, fuck bush and most of all FUCK JACKIE!

Man, oh man. I listened to the whole show today. All I can say is for those of you in the 6 markets, I am SO sorry. I can't imagine my morning w/o Howard on. I guess he was true in saying that Monday might be his last day, man, this just SUCKS!

What about Congress. They are the one's who are actually holding the hearings where the Clear Channel CEO and Mel Karmizan have all been testifying about how they are going to clean things up. And the congressmen have been threatening to pass new laws governing the airwaves. As far as I can tell, Bush hasn't said anything about what is going on. And the FCC, well that agency is headed by a black man. If you are against the FCC then you must be a racist.

I am also from Pittsburgh and it is killing me that I can't listen to Howard. I am so outraged that this happened. These people have no clue what Howard is all about.

Is there anywhere on the net that I still can listen to his show?

Of course there is......we lost the show here in Florida also. You have to understand, there's alot of selfish fucks here that probably havent even listened to the show for as long as some of us......but they still get to hear it.

Well it looks like those assholes at WTKS here in Orlando are already doing crisis control and still stabbing Howard in the back.

They are sending out letters to their sponsors, telling them basically that they apologize for Howard's actions and shit.....also telling them that if Howard doesn't come back...they are offering a new 'edgy' type show.....the 'monsters' can't wait to take Howard's spot. The 'monsters' show totally sucks cock.

They have always talked shit about Howard...they have never supported him, they have always been jealous of his success as well. They actually believe that they are the stars of that station.....Howard made that station what it is....they are a bunch of fucking rednecks in denial.

Fucking back-stabbing weasels....already sending out letters to sponsors wanting to fuck Howard over.....yeah, thanks for supporting Howard.....'monsters of the fag day'

P.S.....They just recently had to fire someone from their show....because he was arrested for molesting a 13 year old....they act like that never happened also.

Check out how they treat Howard over on their gay site.

The Monsters do blow. I used to like them when they first went to middays. Howard made that station. None of them would have careers without Howard. Drew, The Monsters, and Jim Phillips would not have careers if Howard hadn't started on WTKS. Jim Phillips has been on the air doing his how for 15 years or whatever, but no one knew who he was until he ended up doing afternoons on the Howard Stern Station.

They won't support Howard at all because they are all still employed by Clear Channel and have to kiss ass. They also resent him because they get the "you're only successful because of Howard" a lot. They all like to think they would be successful without him.

They didn't recently fire Defoe. That was 5 years ago. He met a listener who was 17, not 13.

I only heard of the Monsters because they are on after Stern. Daniel and Black Bean are pretty funny and Dirty Jim is ok, but the rest of them suck and the southern accents get to be annoying.

I never understood what the big deal was about Jim Phillips. His show is boring if you ask me.

I thought they fired that guy Bo for doing cocaine, or is that someone else you're talking about?

I believe the Monster fired for illegal activity was nicknamed 'Fluffy.' They also had a producer named 'Pickle Boy' that quit on his own and was later spotted on a gay webcam site. Bo was fired for excessive lateness related to drug and alcohol abuse.

Can a desperate fan here in Orlando get the instructions on how to hear Howard's show? I tried messing around with the newsgroups with little success.

Thanks in advance.

Fluffy was just a gay producer. He didn't do anything illegal, he went somewhere else to be a gay producer. Defoe was the guy who did the 17 year old listener girl.

The newsgroup stern-repost has a single file no commercial MP3 of the show every day. That is the best way.

Try using xnews Newsgroup Reader. its free. i use that software and it makes it very easy to get the show every day.

Now that Howard is gone they have the "monsters in the morning" :rolleyes: . Today was the worst though... Monsters did Howard's time slot live, and the 10am-3pm they just replayed their morning show. Goddamn clearchannel sucks balls. I need to get a portable mp3 player hooked in my Truck :mad:

The message boards at 'Planet radio' (the Jacksonville station) and the message boards at 98 rock (Tampa) have mysteriously been taken down.

That's because they don't want any negative feedback about the monsters.....in other words they don't want the thousands that don't want them on the air to be able to post about it.

Notice how they didnt take any calls from Tampa today.....you better believe that they are screening the 'truth.'

My brother works at another bike shop down the road from the Harley shop.....he said at the most there were about 20 people there at their 'big event.'
Nice smokescreen monsters......god, they suck.

One of the CC stations that pulled Stern put a message on their website about not airing the show until they were assured that it wouldn't violate company policy. The note was right beside the "Babe of the Day" and "Thong of the Day" on the website.

Yeah... it was All Access... and I guess the PD or webmaster reads All Access, because the babe and thong are gone!

WTKS doesn't show any signs of relenting to the pressure, however, as a statement on the STERN portion of the station's website (www.wtks.com/sternshowinfo.html) reads as follows: "The content of HOWARD STERN's program is not in compliance with CLEAR CHANNEL's content standards. Until the program provider makes those adjustments, we will be unable to air the HOWARD STERN SHOW." The statement is attributed to SVP/Programming TOM OWENS.

The same statement is also being run on sister Classic Rock WBGG/FT. LAUDERDALE-MIAMI's site, www.big106.com. Interestingly enough from a decency standpoint, ALL ACCESS noted that the picture of STERN and the link to the OWENS' statement on the station's homepage appears next to a picture and link to a "Babe of the Day." The "Babe of the Day" picture link is directly above a picture and link to the station's "Thong of the Day." The "Thong of the Day" window prominently features a thong-clad woman's backside.

I'm in Ft. Lauderdale and suffering from Howard withdrawal.
This was in our local paper, the Sun-Sentinel.

I don't think there's any coincidence about Howard changing his mind about Bush and getting yanked off the air.

if i may say this...Anyone serious about support Howard Stern and everything he stands for should come together as a single force. This website (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StopTheErosionReactNow) is a beginning that I hope will grow in popularity. Small as it is now it should grow. this will be anyone that wants to talk and add any websites supporting Stern .
I bet that those who hate him live a pathetic life and I feel bad for your children who will grow up without a sense of tolerance or a perspective other than RIGHT WING FASCIST F'D. Why dont you just wipe your ass with the Constitution and call yourself a NAzi, itll save you a epiphany. This isnt so much about Stern as it is about us and our freedoms! Stern is a scapegoat... they (FCC, Bush Admin) are trying to make examples out of people in an attempt to get media producers to conform to their fascist views. F THAT, THIS ENDS NOW!

thank you :)
