Reply #32: I'm wondering why there appears to be

an assumption the removal wasn't at the behest of listeners in the specific markets the show was pulled from??

Admittedly I haven't been following the story- I think Stern is sick and twisted which makes him perfect for the career he's embarked on, and I've listened to him on occasion over the years. Sometimes he's funny, other times he's just disgusting and despicable and the fact is there are a LOT of people out there who don't want his stuff on their air waves, period. They don't even want to accidentally scan into his show!

The stations are not going to air something that actually costs them listeners, so I can't help but wonder if this is what happened.
