Infinity Confirms Howard Stern Replacements
After months of speculation, Infinity Broadcasting has confirmed that the replacements for Stern — who will air his final broadcast radio show on Dec. 16 — will be current Loveline host Adam Carolla and former Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth. Both will both debut in their new morning roles on Jan. 3; Roth from WXRK/New York and Carolla from KLSX/Los Angeles.
Additional markets to broadcast Roth include KLLI/Dallas, WYSP/Philadelphia, WBCN/Boston, WRKZ/Pittsburgh, WNCX/Cleveland and WPBZ/West Palm Beach. Carolla will also be heard on KIFR/San Francisco (formerly KEAR-FM), KPLN/San Diego, KZON/Phoenix, KUFO/Portland and KXTE/Las Vegas.
ABC-TV late-night host Jimmy Kimmel will serve as a creative consultant to Carolla's West Coast-based radio show as well as an advisor to Infinity. Kimmel will assist in the development of new talent and show ideas for the company and make guest appearances on Carolla's program.
Concurrently, Infinity has launched "Free FM" in seven of the company's top 10 markets. Beginning today, KIFR/San Francisco, WYSP/Philadelphia and KPLN/San Diego will convert to Free FM programming, which offers listeners a combination of local and national talk personalities. Also, KLSX/Los Angeles, WCKG/Chicago; KLLI/Dallas; WJFK/Washington, DC; WKRK/Detroit; and WHFS/Baltimore have all been rebranded Free FM. WXRK/New York will debut as Free FM in conjunction with Roth’s premiere in January 2006.
