I am not a Howard Stern fan at all but this is not at all about decency.This is about election PR.
Of the 1000 or so Clear Channel owned stations,his program was removed from only 6.(Orlando,Fort Lauderdale,San Diego,Pittsburgh,Louisville,and Rochester).Most of Howard's shows are broadcast by Infinity.This is not a big revenue loss to Clear Channel and Howard will be picked up by someone else.I have said it before but Lowrey Mays,the CEO of Clear Channel,is a longtime Bush friend and major campaign supporter.I suspect that this is nothing more than an attempt to court moral majority type voters.


On weds show,he told his listeners that "it is time for Bush to go." He complained about Bush stanch on gay marriage and the time Bush may or may not have spent in the national guard.Howard told his listeners to really look at what Bush and company have been saying in comparison to what they are doing and to get out and vote.

The next day he is pulled from the air on all Clear Channel stations.
I don't know what else it could be besides politically motivated.
