Stern Leaves FM
Day in Rock reports: A big shout out to Howard Stern today (and not just because he linked us yesterday). If you haven't been living under a rock you know that today marks the final day that the King of All Media will be on the regular (e.g. regulated) airwaves. So if you read this soon enough, be sure to tune in and see how many fines he can collect on his final day! You'll soon be able to get all the Stern you can handle on Sirius Satellite Radio. He begins broadcasting on January 9. (But the Howard 100 channel is already up and running.) In all seriousness, congrats to Howard and much success on the big move which is sure to include a lot more lesbians. Whether you like him or not, Stern changed the face of radio and will likely take satellite radio to the next level. Check out the full story link for Howard's site and to learn more about what to expect from the uncensored Stern. - Click Here for the Full Story
