SAN FRANCISCO, United States (AFP) - US shock jock Howard Stern's departure from "terrestrial radio" on Friday will be featured live on the Internet, according to Silicon Valley-based search portal Yahoo.
Yahoo has struck a deal to stream a video and audio webcast of Stern as he leaves a New York City radio station, boards a double-decker bus and goes on to celebrate at a Hard Rock Cafe, the company said Wednesday.
The radio personality known for bawdy antics and raunchy commentary that have resulted in censure by US regulators has traded his FM radio gig for a lucrative contract with a satellite radio company.
"Howard's fans will be able to celebrate his final day as if they were personally attending all the day's events," Lloyd Braun, head of the Yahoo Media Group, said in a statement.
Activities of the self-proclaimed "King of All Media" will be webcast beginning at 9:00 am (1400 GMT), according to Yahoo.
Searches for "Howard Stern" at Yahoo.com will generate links to the webcast, the company said.
