Report -- David Lee Roth to replace Howard Stern
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Infinity Broadcasting isn't commenting on an online report penned by a former Howard Stern Show regular that suggests David Lee Roth will be one of the personalities that ultimately replaces the ribald DJ on the airwaves.

What is certain is that Roth is among many entertainers that Infinity has auditioned on-air since Stern's bombshell announcement last year. Infinity executives have repeatedly made it clear that they are not looking for a singular personality to succeed Stern.

In April, Infinity president of programing Rob Barnett told Billboard Radio Monitor he was working with Roth in Boston at classic rock station WZLX. "The station has kind of turned the town on its ear with cab drivers, waiters and waitresses and employees of Barnes & Noble talking about this amazing guy on the radio," Barnett said. "It's an example of just being able to surprise and entertain your listeners without necessarily giving them the exact same menu every day." In Boston, Stern is heard on Infinity modern rock station WBCN.

3. Nobody can replace Howard Stern.
They may put in a paid lap dog in to bark their boring, static, generic dribble, but they'll only further turn people off.

It is amazing how the Corporate whores are trying to turn off every spiggot of truth.

Do they not see they are killing the very aspect of America they have thrived on?

This level of the Neanderthalism* mentality is pretty amazing to me. Then again, fear is the most primitive emotion.
