I am – Hercules!!
Forget about the $2 million in profit CBS is supposedly losing for dropping Don Imus.
I hear CBS’ WFNY (formerly WXRK) saw its ad revenue plummet from more than $50 million in 2005 (Howard Stern’s last year on the air there) to $18 million in 2006 (its first year without Stern).
In the meantime, Stern’s new uncensored satellite radio show keeps racking up Sirius subscribers at an alarming clip.
Beginning Wednesday, even people who don’t want to pony up $13.99 per month for all of Howard TV’s unpixellated lesbian stripper porn-star action (to say nothing of the sex stories of Sarah Silverman and Tina Fey) can see what it’s all about.
Look! Press release!
