Shock jock Stern's show dropped

American radio "shock jock" Howard Stern has been dropped by some US radio stations under a new "zero tolerance" policy toward indecency.
The Clear Channel company removed his controversial show from its six radio stations following a risque interview involving sexually explicit language.

Stern was interviewing Rick Salomon, who was filmed having sex with hotel heiress Paris Hilton.

Clear Channel president John Hogan said the show was "vulgar and insulting".

"Clear Channel drew a line in the sand today with regard to protecting our listeners from indecent content, and Howard Stern's show blew right through it," Mr Hogan added.

The Texas-based company is the largest US radio station operator with more than 1,200 outlets.

The company said it will amend contracts with all on-air presenters which will hold disc jockeys financially responsible for indecent comments made on-air.

Fired

Stern's New York-based show is also aired by Infinity Broadcasting which operates 185 radio stations across the US.

A spokesman for Infinity was not available for comment.

Gordon Hodge, a media analyst with merchant bank Thomas Weisel, said he doubted Infinity would take Stern off the air.

"He's obviously a very popular personality," he said.

The action against Stern came a day after Clear Channel sacked Florida radio host "Bubba the Love Sponge," after federal regulators accused him of airing sexually graphic material on Tampa's WXTB-FM and three other Florida stations.

Stern is best known in the UK for starring in the film Private Parts, about his own life.

Singer Courtney Love phoned Stern's show two weeks ago to explain why she failed to turn up to two court hearings earlier in the week.

This morning I woke up turned on 105.9 to hear Howard's show while I was driving my kid to school and got a couple of jackass talk radio bub heads instead.

I'm writing a letter to the CEO of Clear Channel this morning.

Fucking asswipes.

What good is a radio station if it loses it's license? Once someone beats this in court, they can relax - right now, it is a tough time for that biz. Election is coming up, too.

That's funny but this morning I turned to the same station down here in Fort Lauderdale too. On a serious note, folks, this is just the beginning. If anyone truly believes that if Bush gets reelected that the real sqeeze isn't going to come down on our industry as well, then you're in need of some reality pills.
Enough us enough. I have no desire to live in a country that tells me what I can watch or listen to or how I can make a living. We have the power to vote their tired, out of touch, right wing asses out, and that's what we need to do.

1st amendment my ass!

It's over with people... thank you Bush... Here's to another 4 years of a communistic reign.

where do you draw the line. Is the f word ok? Graphic sexual situations including ejaculation, etc?

When I was growing up, they couldnt do or say half of the stuff they do these days on tv and radio, and that wasnt all that long ago.

There has to be some level of decency. What that level is, is hard to say.

If clear channel wants to run their business clean, I think thats their choice.

The people who should be in water water is mtv. Ive been saying for awhile that alot of the material on there is extremely graphic. And that is something marketed to young kids.

It's just a word... so you replace the word fuck with the word frig... friggin, frigger, or what ever... perfectly ok when our kids say it, ok on TV... but yet... it means the same... we all know when we hear the word frig... people mean fuck... so what is a word?

Friggin assholes.

myjah · 02-26-2004, 09:17 AM
