and he has for quite a while now, I remember a colleague of mine who was a religious listener to the Stern show and mandated that it be playing all the time at work...sheer torture, I couldn't believe that people could actually listen to that crap for any duration without vomiting...scary thing is that his pitiful excuse for a show is still on today, and sounds much like it did before only with the addition of more whining....I am almost tempted to send him a few pounds of cheese.

The only reason he is still on the air is because of his previous fanbase and his "Springer" esque format....

to compare his third rate no talent show to any other reasonably intelligent talk radio program IMHO is rather laughable....he would be nothing without strippers, family members making out, or his "its just wrong" segment, if it were just him bitching on the radio along with Robin's horrible radio presence the show would have failed long ago....

I seriously hope that crap like this is pushed off public airwaves and radio is moved into a cable esque format.

You want to talk about torture? Try working at a place that has the fat Bag of Noxious Gas "Hillbilly Heroin" Rush Limbaugh on all the time in the morning!

I think if people are going to comment on Howard Stern's radio show they should base it on more then what they show on the E! show (i.e. strippers, girls, what-have-you)... He makes the news fun to listen to. If you dont like him, then dont listen. Simple as that. I like how people have said "Im all for free speech, but Howard sucks and needs to go".... A little contradiction there if you ask me.

Im wondering why, after the how-many years Howard's been on radio saying the same stuff he's been always saying, they choose now to go after him? I swear, Janet shows her boob and the whole world goes ape-sh!t. Everyone's concerned about how all of this affects "the children", yet they have no problem showing dead bodies all over in the news. Im willing to bet more children watch the news than listen to Howard. And, I still question how kids are listening to the show in the first place. Think about it. In most homes, the mother and father are getting ready to go to work while their children get ready for school. My parents had talk radio going on in the mornings, but certainly not anything like Howard Stern. Then the parents usually take the kid to school or make them take the bus. After my dad dropped me off, THEN he switched to Howard. There certainly wasn't any time to listen to him during the school day.

If you don't like Howard, thats fine. You are entitled to your opinion. However just because you don't like his show, that doesn't mean he should be kicked off.

Howard should go on XM.

David Lawrence was the voice of Cnet radio, but when the shut down, he went to XM, and now is syndicated and has a large audience. I don't see why Howard Stern couldn't do the same thing.

To see an example:

David even allows his shows to be saved and downloaded to your MP3 player.

Yeah, that would really hurt - you might accidentally tune in . . .
