On the other hand, maybe this isn't such a big deal....for now.

It looks like Stern was "fired" off of only six radio stations out of the hundreds owned by Clear Channel (Fort Lauderdale, Rochester, Orlando, San Diego, Pittsburgh, and Louisville).

This could mean that Howard can move to a rival station in those markets and pick up where he left off.

Either way, it was a dumbass move on CC's part, IMHO. It's not like they didn't know what they were buying when they put him on the air.
