The Howard Stern Soap Opera

Introducing The Howard Stern Soap Opera. ( a snippet from the www.audiographics.com website )

Audio Graphics' trained fly has returned after landing on the wall of Viacom's Chairman Sumner Redstone. After unstrapping the micro-recorder from its monofilament harness, I ran the audio through a transcriber and came up with the following:

Sumner Redstone: Pray tell Les, what were you thinking? I mean, Howard's been gone for a little over two months. The public was just starting to purge him from their memories and you have to go file a lawsuit? What are you expecting to gain?

Les Moonves: Well, Sumner... eh, Mr. Redstone, the boys and I were looking at the latest round of trends and they didn't seem to be holding up as strong as we suspected. Fact is, we're expecting about a $500,000 dollar drop in revenue for 2006 and we thought this might be a way to recoup lost revenue.

SR: But Les, you've given Stern his own soap opera. You know how those soaps get a following. The public thinks you're trying to screw Howard now. That sex has entered the picture is going to give this thing more legs than a five foot millipede. Just drop the lawsuit and let's move on.

Lawyer for cbs: Who cares what the public thinks! This isn't a soap opera, it's business. All we have to do Mr. Redstone, is prove Stern received monies and/or stock options and/or compensation of any means while still under contract with us and we've got him by his cry-baby butt. The public thought Martha Stewart was being picked on and look where that landed her. The law is the law, regardless of poor Howies feelings.

Hey I see where your head is at.
But there is more to it then that.
This is not the same thing as the Martha Stewart thing.
But if you want to compare it to that, she is bigger now then ever.
Hey I know everything CBS does is on the up and up
so it is good they are not letting any-one, possibly, break the law.
It is just that easy

Uh... Does this thread belong here?

I'm sorry, what does this have to do with radio in Philly? Isn't Howard a syndicated talk show host? Shouldn't this be on a on the Hot Talk board?

yes, it does belong here. while certainly howard is a hot talk jock, he's more of a PHILLY RADIO topic right now, because of the turmoil that he is putting WYSP, and the rest of cbs radio thru.

I totally agree. He will always be linked to YSP and Philly radio, no matter where he is now. The current trend book covers part of his last shows. The thread is clearly labeled as being about Howard Stern, so if you do not want to read a thread about Howard Stern simply skip it.
