Listening to Howard 100 on Sirius and they just broke in witha special report saying that Infinity Broadcasting has suspended Howard Stern and has yanked his show off the air.
Howard Stern Suspended For 1 Day. 11/07/05. 12:00pm
According to a news report on Howard 100 News (on Sirius satellite radio) Howard Stern has been suspended by Infinity Broadcasting for ONE DAY. They're saying that Stern was notified after today's show that he was being suspended for talking about his move to satellite radio too much. They're also saying that Stern was not willing to give Infinity any 'Best of Stern' tapes to play tomorrow morning while he's suspended. If you have Sirius, tune in now to hear any updates... I'll try to bring you more updates as they become available for those of you who don't have Sirius yet.
Currently, I can take him or leave him. I actually listen to him more often since the FCC rules have kept him under control. I have almost no desire to subscribe to satellite radio and even less desire to listen to Howard's freak show on Sirius.
Best of is on, and it was live yesterday, there's no story here...There was a little more sirius talk yesterday but it wasn't that much more than normal.
Over the past year or so, howard has pulled 2-3 prank days and this is probably one of them. Instead of just putting on best-of, they're using it to promote sirius. Can't blame him, doesn't hurt infinity as people still listen to bestof and are obviously checking on the validity of this.
