David Lee was on Stern this morning talking about it. Sounds like he's going to play music. I don't know that he'll last all that long but he's got the energy for it.

Rock's been dead for more than a decade. Not all that surprising that the rock stations are dying now too.

Stern is done, he hasn't tried to do a show in years.  O&A are the way to go.

While I think that O&A are weak, Stern at this point doesn't deserve such a ridiculous following. Same shtein over and over again.

He's been restricted from doing anything remotely entertaining on the airwaves. The FCC has had their microscope shoved up his ass for the last 20 years. Once he's on satelitte he'll be free to do as he pleases. I plan on getting Sirius once I move home to Philly.

that's his excuse, but he's done.  he's trying to still be shocking but he's rich and he doesn't care about the listeners anymore.  when he goes to Sirius he's only going to do a show for 4 days a week with tons of vacation time. 

good luck with inferior technology and subpar programming if you buy Sirius.

O&A own Howard.

Pa. Court Throws Out Salesman's Bias Award 

By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press Writer

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- A state court on Thursday overturned a six-figure award to a former ad salesman for Philadelphia Eagles radio broadcasts who was told to "dress very white."

The Commonwealth Court panel reversed the decision by the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission to award Shawn Brooks more than $600,000 in back and front pay in February 2005.

Brooks claims a book the Philadelphia Eagles Radio Network distributed at a 2001 sales meeting amounted to a hostile work environment. "New Dress for Success," by John T. Molloy, said most blacks are anti-establishment, advised black salesmen to "dress very white," and said solid-blue suits have "a very negative association for blacks."

Brooks, who is of mixed race, complained to a supervisor but got no response, according to the Human Relations Commission. The commission's chairman called it an "egregious" case of stereotyping and bias.

The state court disagreed.

"While there is no question that the distribution of the book at issue here was unprofessional, insulting and insensitive, it was not severe and pervasive" as in other court cases, Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer wrote.

The court also said the commission improperly allowed Brooks to supplement his evidence with other allegations of harassment that were not listed in his complaint.

Attorneys for Brooks and the radio network said they had no immediate comment because they hadn't read the decision. The radio network is affiliated with WYSP-FM, and their parent companies are Viacom Inc. and Infinity Broadcasting Corp.
