Stern's show generates about 100 million dollars worth of revenue per year for Viacom (that's not me talking, that's a paraphrase from his bosses). They won't let him out of his contract early because they want that ka-ching. In fact, there are a lot of morons in radioland that are asking the FCC to regulate paid, subscription-based satellite radio because of the threat he is presenting to their livelihoods. I say, good luck with that.

I don't think the FCC will be that successful in any attempts to suppress the more creative aspects of cable television/satellite radio.

And to be perfectly honest, I don't think most of the FCC commissioners-with the possible exception of Michael Copps-have much of an interest in doing so.

A lot of this heat isn't coming from any branch of the federal government, even the more intrusive Washington bureaucratic agencies, it's coming from a minority of people living outside of D.C.

As much as I admire the convictions of a Jeff Jarvis, I have to say, he's wasting his breath.

Whether or not these moral scolds-who are targeting perceived acts of indecency-represent anything approaching a majority is immaterial at the moment.

What is, is, and there's nothing much he or any other blogger can do about it.

Really? The vile, disgusting, no-talent, nobody listens to him anyway Howard Stern generates $100 million per year? Who'd a thunk it?
