E! Entertainment TV Pulls Plug on Stern

NEW YORK - E! Entertainment Television said Wednesday it will stop airing new episodes of "The Howard Stern Show." The last episode will be seen July 8.

The televised version of Stern's radio show has been a staple on E! since 1994, shown weeknights at 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. and then again in the middle of the night.

Stern won't immediately disappear. E! said it would be airing reruns of the show — more than 2,000 were filmed over the years — for the foreseeable future.

"As `The Howard Stern Show' evolves into a premium service, it is time for our late-night programming to evolve as well," said Ted Harbert, the network's president.

Stern's popular radio program will move to Sirius Satellite Radio in January. His manager, Don Buchwald, did not immediately return a call for comment on E! Entertainment's decision.

mmm...ratings?
 
Also remember that when Stern moves to Sirius, it will be much harder for them to edit the show, considering he can do and say what he pleases on satelite.

Maybe HBO or showtime will pick it up...

No. I belive all of them have been elected to public office....or are gearing up for the next American Idol auditions.

Is it me, or am I the only one that thinks that Sterns show will get even worse once he can say anything he wants? Personally I think it is more fun (and more creative) to toe the line.

I agree, but last year Congress made the line a lot wider. Why stay on broadcast radio, never knowing what you can or can't say, and worrying that YOU'LL be responsible for the fines?

The Regular Guys pull off toeing the line better than most, because in-between the so-called "shock-jockery" there are opinions, and intelligence.

Stern's not going over to satellite because he wants to say "f---" all the time - he's going so he doesn't have worry about it when he does say "f---". That, and the money.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by BigFatBelly on 06/24/05 03:04 AM.</FONT></P>
