John Hogan, is the president and CEO of Clear Channel Radio, airs Stern on some of it's 1200 radio stations.
"Clear Channel drew a line in the sand today with regard to protecting our listeners from indecent content, and Howard Stern's show blew right through it," Hogan said.
"It was vulgar, offensive and insulting, not just to women and African-Americans but to anyone with a sense of common decency."
Vulgar? Offensive? No Sh*t !!! Doesn't this guy listen to his own radio station? Why is he surprised that Stern is Offensive. He had been airing the Howard Stern Show for years because he is offensive. Offensive, is Sterns stock and trade.
If Stern is not vulgar and offensive, then there is no show.
You can't have it both ways Mr. Hogan.
What F*cking a hypocrite!
Ahh I feel better now.

I'm guessing that Mr Hogan recently dipped Mr. Winky into someone with a strong sense of "how dare you not be PC". Either that or he plans to run for office. =P
He is trying to keep the FCC off his back. But he comes off like he is shocked that Stern is Vulgar.
Is he going to wake up tomorrow and realize that David letterman is funny?

ClearChannel's new standards for decency were released this past Monday at the latest. I know because a radio show I listen (on a CC owned station) to mentioning them throughout the program. They may had been released last week; I was without a car the latter half of last week so wasn't listening to the radio. Point being that whatever Stern said on Tuesday, he said it knowing he was violating the new policy and should have known after the Jackson fiasco that this isn't the time to toe the line when it comes to the FCC.
Yeah, he should know (obviously) that Stern is vulgar. But I'd probably be a bit suprised as well if, in this climate, someone was to so blatently ignore new standards the day after they're released. Whatever Stern is, he's in the syndicated radio business and he should have been smarter than that.

Your particular capitalization of the word vulgar would lead us, the reader, to think Howie was playing the part of a pointy eared alien in a badly done Star Trek knockoff. I suppose Stuttering John could take Kirk's character and substitute long pauses between phrases with a staccato-like inability to say his lines.

Howard Stern's still in radio ?
He's been threatening to retire since what -- '94 '95 ?
Add a hooker and he'll have the plot for Private Parts 2.

Clear Channel Radio suspended Stern from six stations — the only outlets among its 1,200 stations that air the show — after an on-air interview Tuesday with socialite Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon during which a caller used a racial slur. Salomon is the man involved in the hotel heiress' infamous homemade sex video.
Quote:
"I could blow my stack, but ... ," Stern said, trailing off. "A caller used the N word, and I hung up on him."

So what did Stern himself do?
Dunno, I didn't hear the show. But one would wonder why you wouldn't have a tape delay and catch someone calling someone else a ****** on the air. Without having ever seen CC's standards, I feel pretty sure that they include racial slurs and I know that they hold the show accountable to callers as that came up on the other program I was listening to.
The "N-word" got bleeped out there due to AllaKhazam's decency standards.. heh

He lets people use racial slurs all the time. I guess since they're not curse words, they're 'okay.' Prior standards just cut out curse words and too-frank sex talk, but I guess now anything 'offensive' can be cut....
I was listening, the caller asked Rick if he ever slept with any "N-words, S-words?" and when Howard rephrased it to "black or hispanic chicks" and Rick said no, the caller asked "What about C-words?"
I find it vaguely amusing that they don't seem to think the other two racial slurs are just as ugly, since they don't mention them. Howard was like "C'mon now" and hung up on him, but not after he rephrased the last question to ask if Rick had ever been with any asian women.
