First off, WNBC thought it better to eliminate

Stern. Then he moved to infinity and the rest

was history. He was such a cash cow for them
that the fines were justifiable compared to

revenue realized. In fact the publicity

surrounding the FCC and Stern actually

increased interest (ratings) in his show.

Infinity did not "eliminate" Stern. Stern quit to

move to Sirius Satellite radio where, he feels,

his "creativity" would not be so constrained by

the FCC rules of decency.

Stern did not quit. He is fulfilling the remainder of his contract and
chose not to renew it. If he quit, he would not have fulfilled the time
terms of his contract, which he is honoring.

The gamble he's making is whether the

tongue dragging set that lives and dies by his

every guffaw will shell out the money to listen

to him on Sirius.

No gamble by him,,it's a gamble by his sponsors.

Mel Karmazin, Viacom's COO who jumped

ship to become the CEO of Sirius, seems to

think so.

Because Karmazin sees the entire picture and has the FACTS.

I'm waiting until the FCC gets into the Satellite

radio scene.

You'll be waiting a long, long time. Think of it as radio HBO. The feds
can't touch it in the manner you refer.
