July 20, 200422 yr ok, there have been waayyy too many threads on this...but I'm gonna start one again... I agree with lcyberlina....yes I do. This censorship of Stern is dumb. It is NOT ClearChannel's fault...I'd drop his ass too, if I were having to pay 755k fines for him. It is a matter of the FCC. I was reading an article today about Stern and the Monsters going head to head in Orlando starting this morning (I sure hope Monsters win in the ratings, b/c Stern sucks), and it discussed all the micromanaging our FEDERAL government has! They have thought about forcing ClearChannel to record all programming from 6am to 10pm....do you realize how UNREALISTIC THAT IS! And how foolish it would be to have to store all that tape-age!?! FCC has over done it. Like someone's quote at the end of the article..."if someone doesn't like it, they can always turn it off".
July 20, 200422 yr "This censorship of Stern is dumb. It is NOT ClearChannel's fault...I'd drop his ass too, if I were having to pay 755k fines for him. It is a matter of the FCC." They have paid his fines...firing him is purely political aand so are the fines.
July 20, 200422 yr Yea but the FCC controlling what we can or cannot see or hear to this extent is absurd. And by the way i hate howard stern he isnt funny hes just annoying, but the censorship is unnecessary
July 20, 200422 yr Stern makes way too much money for them to drop him over 755,000 bucks. He makes the station millions and millions of dollars per year.
July 20, 200422 yr and anything that fines an individual 755 gs per show is definitely infringing on our free speech...so its BS both ways.
