Clear Channel Sued Over Stern Cancellations
Clear Channel has been sued by Infinity Broadcasting and One Twelve Inc., the company that places Stern's show on affiliate stations, for violating the terms of the agreements CC had to air The Howard Stern Show in six U.S. markets. Infinity and One Twelve seek more than $10 million in damages, and each accuse Clear Channel of failing to notify them that Stern's show was being dropped ? a requirement of the contract. Infinity and One Twelve also charge in their breach of contract claim that they are owed license fees by Clear Channel. In a statement, Clear Channel EVP/Chief Legal Officer Andy Levin said, "Howard Stern is the only one who has broken the law. His contract explicitly requires his show comply with all FCC rules and regulations. On several occasions, it clearly did not. Clear Channel Radio had both a legal right and an obligation to stop broadcasting it." Stern's show was pulled from Clear Channel's WBGG/Miami; WTKS/Orlando; WXDX/Pittsburgh; WNVE/Rochester, NY; and KIOZ/San Diego.
