I am not a fan of Howard Stern at all.I have never heard one of his broadcasts nor do I have any intention of doing so.I am a firm believer in changing the station if I don't like what is on.That being said,I am even less of a fan of Lowery Mays and his blatant political motivations.Why is political motivation such a stretch for you to believe in this case?
My guess as to why Infinity didn't get rid of Howard,is that he generates a huge profit for them. Otherwise his moronic show would have been off the air a long time ago. C'mon Max,you have to admit that if Howard were on more Clear Channels stations and was turning more of a profit for them,they wouldn't have gotten rid of him.Six stations out of more than a 1000 is nothing for CC.They don't even have to hire disc jockeys to fill his time slot,they will fill it with a totally automated program.They are out nothing and they look really good to the FCC and the Bush administration because they "cleaned up their airwaves."
I am the last peson to be politically confrontational and I hate being so cynical but to me this is a no brainer.
