NEW YORK -- Howard Stern announced Wednesday that his syndicated morning show would appear in nine new markets, including four where his show was axed by the nation's largest radio chain for alleged indecency.

Stern said his program would air on stations in Houston; San Diego; Tampa, Fla.; Pittsburgh; Orlando, Fla.; Austin, Texas; West Palm Beach, Fla.; Rochester, N.Y.; and Fresno, Calif., all owned by Infinity Broadcasting.

I was listening this morning when he made the announcement and had the press conference

It's a little victory for howard, but a real statement about Infinity and Viacom and how they're willing to stand up for him, and stand against the hipocrits and the religious right controlled FCC

I dont think the FCC or the "religious right" had much to do with this. Stern was more opposed by women's groups.

If anything it was a move by Clear Channel to try to appease the FCC especially with the hearing and etc. In the end it is their radio station and they can put whoever they want on, or take off. Even if the reasoning behind it is stupid or foolish.

Bubba the Love Sponge was also pulled in the air from 98rock(also a clear channel station) in Tampa FL. Which considering how many times he has been in trouble it wasnt a big surprize to me.

Some good did come out of it because they got rid of "the fiasco" which was a horrible and very lame afternoon show they had, which now i dont have to listen to just cds when im driving at that time anymore.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
