I haven't really listened to Stern anymore after he got his divorce. It just seems weird when I hear him talking about his new girlfriend and stuff. Also he doen't really have a small penis -- it was just an act. Too bad, I needed a role model....

Though I like to punch out Clear Channel for playing Hey Ya! to death on 102.7 FM (Los Angeles)

yep just realized that, my drive to work is saved.

me too, thanks! i'm so glad Clear Channel doesn't own WJFK in DC.

should be a very interesting show tomorrow morning.

[Swag1138]

Thanks a lot JANET. YOU AND YOUR FVCKIN BOOB has done more damn damage in the last 3 weeks, than I could of ever of imagined!!!

I Really give it a 50-50 odds if Howard is still on air by the end of the year. If he goes on Sirus, that would be the only reason I'd pay for it!

A little off-topic...
I thought Private Parts was a pretty funny/entertaining movie (nothing academy-award winning level).

Yup. It's embarassing, it really is. I'm willing to bet some crazed Stern fan tries to take her out (no, not on the town, the other out). Wouldn't be a big loss.

Anybody who thinks this has anything to do with Stern is shortsighted to say the least. This is about freedom of speech and censorship. It's about our government being hellbent on forcing their Christian agenda down our throats, forcing us to adopt their veiws of what is concidered decent and what's not. FCC assumes that average american is too stupid to decide for themselves what they should listen to.

Howard Stern? I listened to him a few times, I always thought his show was boring.

i auume nowadays every channel is clearchannel, but want to see if i will still get stern tom.

Not at all. Around here only a very few FM stations are Clear Channel stations. (I think 3) The rest of them are other companies or NPR.

If you call up a station and ask them if they're a Clear Channel station they pretty much have to tell you.

Put your city in here

Don't feel like you're in the clear (hur hur) if you put in your city and nothing shows up. I know for a fact Clear Channel is present here in Reno and nothing came up.

 

[LostHiWay]

For the people who hate Howard that's fine..that's your right. Make your opinion heard by not listening and decreasing his ratings. However, I also have a right to listen to Howard (which I do!). In the near future it seems I won't even have that option. I hate what this country is becoming.

 

[JoeKing]

Its ok my fellow libs the pendulum will swing back eventually and just as far the other way. You know how to vote next election.......just don't vote Nader becuase that's a vote for Bush

You've got to be freakin' kidding me. Janet Jackson didn't do JACK SQUAT! It was the religious psycho freaks that make up 90% of this country that voiced their outrage over a boob on TV, which in turn put enomous pressure on the FCC to take action. Well guess what you have now, OVER REACTION. This is NOT about Howard Stern! You could like or dislike him, that shouldn't be the concern here. The concern should be you being stripped little by little of your freedom of speech. And if you are looking for the source of the problem, you'll find religion at the root. Just like it always has been throughout history.

Yeah, whenever their contract runs out.

This is SUCH a crock of bullsh!t. The Stern show has been completely neutered in the last few days by the a priori censorship of the FCC, and nothing in yesterday's show was anywhere near the extremes of obscenity. The FCC have effectively turned their operations into a protection racket, and they are abusing their authority to impose the values of the religious right on the American public. This is the same kind of brilliant thinking that leads to spending $1.5 billion on a "pro-marriage initiative." This is not America.

I really will get satellite radio if that's what's necessary to get my Stern show.

Um, the show has 5 or 6 delays on it- it's never been cleaner. Indeed, Stern is up in arms about censorship.

I listened to the entire show, I didn't hear any bad words. This is too much, time to get the republicans out of office.

if anything the democrats would want this more than anything, they are all for censorship. Tipper gore and Joe Lieberman were pioneers in censoring the media...

I'm not wading into a political debate - in this context, this is all about Michael Powell's FCC bending broadcasters to their will.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

What a nation we live in, where the government doesn't have to censor because the media does it.

 

[crawford]

At least it wasnt cancelled in Phoenix. How appropriate..... last night I just went to Sage Francis' "F*CK CLEARCHANNEL TOUR."

Sorry Don, I just hate blanket statements, especially when they are off the mark...while I won't disagree the religious right has some pull over the likes of Walmart and such, generally the democrats have been more adamant about brodcast media and censorship...like I said, lieberman and Gore did alot to stifle the voices of a few artists and both are flagrant left wingers.

from another source:

"For years, Lieberman (D-Conn.) has been Washington's most indefatigable proponent of slapping labels on nearly anything he finds personally offensive -- not to mention pressing for V-chips and denouncing the "destructive influence of the entertainment media."

In highly publicized campaigns, the Connecticut politician has linked arms with Book of Virtues author William Bennett to attack Hollywood: The duo tallied how many out-of-wedlock sexual references appeared on network broadcasts during "family hours" and successfully prodded computer-game makers to rate their software. They even pressured Time Warner into selling its Interscope rap label, which sold albums by Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre.

Lieberman co-sponsored the Media Violence Labeling Act introduced in May. It would move the videogame and movie industries toward a single national rating system to be approved by the Federal Trade Commission. He said in June that websites would not be covered, but that his legislation "sets the stage" for such an effort in the future.

Tipper Gore, Vice President Al Gore's wife, began a similar campaign in the 1980s against "porn rock" -- which led to Senate hearings over music content and accusations of censorship from some publishers.

The prospect of the White House being occupied by a Gore-Lieberman pro-ratings combination seems to unsettle some free-speech groups.

"In principle (Lieberman's) in favor of free speech," says Marvin Rich, program director for the National Coalition Against Censorship. "On the other hand, he wants the government to intervene in areas that are probably not subject to government intervention under our First Amendment."

"In a number of areas, he and Tipper are side by side, arm in arm," Rich says.

In June, Lieberman told a Congressional advisory panel that the U.S. government should consider creating a new top-level domain such as ".sex" or ".xxx." (Government auditors have said that only the Commerce Department can add new top-level domains.)

"This idea, which would in effect establish a virtual red-light district ... has a lot of merit," Lieberman said. "For rather than constricting the Net's open architecture, it would capitalize on it to effectively shield children from pornography."

Critics have said the idea won't work because different countries have different standards: Conservative Muslim countries could be exceptionally censorial, while the Netherlands is generally more laissez-faire. Even inside the United States, some artists have been convicted under obscenity laws for lewd cartoons. "

apparently the head honcho is the same one that owns CBS or something and since he had to get flamed for janet's stunt he went across the line on eveything and cut out anything that may be offensive and get people up in arms....thanks janet!!

personally i think its getting ridiculous

The pulled Ralph Sex U? That sucks. That bit was fairly funny. Oh well, good to know that he's still on in LA and that the stations I listen to are not CC.

I will say that this cencorship bullcrap makes me ashamed to be a Republican. Don't get me started on how they oppose gay marriage.

i was wondering why they pulled it, i only turned on the radio after they got done talking about .
damn u janet!!!
