Roth to Exit CBS Morning Radio
NEW YORK -- In a sign of the struggles some broadcast-radio stations face in the absence of Howard Stern's popular morning show, Mr. Stern's successor in New York and other markets will leave CBS Corp.'s airwaves, to be replaced by the duo Opie & Anthony, according to people familiar with the matter.
The duo would replace David Lee Roth, the former rock star who has failed to attract a big audience in the months since Mr. Stern left CBS for Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. The multiyear deal for Opie & Anthony, still in final stages of negotiation, would be a coup for XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., which currently broadcasts the duo's show. Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia would continue to air on XM, and they would promote XM on air to CBS's listeners in cities where Mr. Roth's show airs.
