His show is funny and entertaining, and if people can't get past that, they shouldn't ruin it for the rest of us.

He's a pornographer, foul-mouthed, mysoginistic, and snide....just the kind of thing adolescent males love.

Most of us grow out of that kind of thing.

You really have to be devoid of any real intelligence to find the crap that he puts out funny and entertaining. I know it's a matter of opinion; that's mine.

I love Howard. I even watch his stupid show on E! tv and Robin happens to be my favorite Howard lackey.

He can always go and buy his own radio stations

You have got to be kidding me. I remember 8 or 8 or 9 years ago (may be a little longer) he was on the heavy rock station in Charlotte (95.7). Turned it on to just to hear what everyone was talking about. 5 minutes later turned it off. This guy is absolute trash. Now they need to take Bob and Tom off the air. Those guys are just about as bad

...channels cannot air material containing references to sexual and excretory functions between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., when children may be tuning in./// even if by accident. You can just be flipping through the channels and hear it.

SO, THAT is why they are "ruining it." And thank goodness they are. It's not censorship. It is common sense. Note the TIME FRAME.

IMO Howard was so much funnier about 10-12 years ago. I used to listen everyday. He was hilarious then.

I can't stand his show now, it is just another version of " the man" show. But I don't begrudge him his success ,or want to prevent any adult from listening to him.

Call me a crybaby I miss the old Howard, when everything wasn't about porno.

His show has degenerated into pornographic nonsense.

I think the point the FCC is making is there is a pattern they are trying to stop. They let Howard slide for all these years and now the company Howard works for put on the most disgusting super bowl on record. The only way Viacom was going to listen was to sit on all their franchises.

Granted I don't have to listen to Howard, but the Super Bowl my kids were watching and there was no warning for me that the content of the comercials or the half-time show would be for adults only.

Now there's a backlash because what the FCC was allowing didn't work. They gave an inch and the rest of the broadcast outlets took a mile.

Good for Clear Channel. Clearly this move is associated with our President. By the way they contributed quite largely to President Bush's campaign. I think the Whitehouse and Clear Channel are taking a clear directive and re-establishing moral fortitude in our country. Like the gay marriage thing, the President and his contributors are taking a stand, a stand which will put America back to higher moral ground

Funny and entertaining is subjective. With that said, I detest the Howard Stern show. However, I dislike the knee-jerk reaction to the JJ peep show on the Super Bowl. I find equally disturbing the direction this whole fiasco is headed. If Clear Channel wishes to fire or suspend their hired help that is their business. When the government steps in to begin a censorship of sorts, then I begin to get nervous. The first amendment is not to be tampered with. If you don't like the smut change the channel or turn to another station. It is all about ratings and monies from advertising. If the shows are not listened too or the advertisers ignored, then let that be the voice of reason. Not the government. God, help me I can't believe I am in Howard Sterns court, but in this case, our freedom of speech is far more precious than the firing of a foul mouth, shock jock of Howard Sterns ilk.
