: If Clear Channel drops Stern in those markets, is he available for syndication in those markets by other stations? Or, what exactly is this Clear Channel shit?
Clear Channel owns over 1200 stations nationwide, but only 6 carried Stern. He can get picked up by competing stations in those areas. The scary part (to me, anyway) is that a media monolith like Clear Channel is bypassing the will of their listeners and succumbing to the definition of decency above and beyond the laws set forward by the FCC.
Which is their right, as I've been correctly reminded.
