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.

I totally agree with all of this. I don't like Howard either - I think his show is boring and Robin's voice gets on my nerves - but if it's a choice of getting on his side or Clear Channel's, I'll cuddle up to Howard in 2.5 seconds.
If this was Casey Kasem in the same situation and he read a letter about someone getting unfairly fired from their job at CC, they would bag him from the stations and say that it was due to the "indecent" music on American Top 40. Lowery Mays is a little pussy who's settling a personal score and making it look like he's doing it for a higher purpose. I hope he falls in a big pile of poop.
