Sirius Moves to Censor Howard Stern


Howard Stern may curse the day he decided to leave terrestrial radio and jump to Sirius – the satellite broadcaster is taking steps to censor the shock jock.

The morning drive-time radio host said he left terrestrial radio because he was fed up with censorship by individual stations and FCC fines for indecency. Now, in what must be a painful irony for Stern, Sirius executives are developing an internal document that will set boundaries for his show.

Stern’s new show is also being broadcast with a time-delay that facilitates censoring, the New York Post reports.

It’s not clear if Stern knew he would be subject to guidelines regarding indecency when he signed on with Sirius, according to the Post.

Sirius’ move to impose boundaries on Stern comes as pressure continues to mount in Congress to regulate programming on cable and satellite radio and TV.




Guess it makes him sound like a hypocrite...all those receivers he was selling based on "free reign and total uncensored control" of his programming.

Nice take. For a good chuckle, read Doonesbury's Sunday strip.

Consider the source on this one... Newsmax.com, the right-wing "news" organization... these guys make Fox News look like the New York Times. I wouldn't take it seriously.
