CURSES FOILED AGAIN FOR STERN By DON KAPLAN
Howard Stern may be coming down with a Sirius case of the bleeps.
High-level executives of the satellite broadcaster are developing an internal standards-and-practices document that will set boundaries for Stern and other shock jocks, The Post has learned.
“It’s something that’s being taken very seriously," a Sirius source said.
Stern's new show also is being broadcast on a time-delay, giving him the opportunity to censor the program which he already has done.

I thought the whole point of SIRIUS was to uncensor Stern.
Schadenfreude.
It may have been Stern himself that wants this. He needs an envelope to push.
You worthless punk!
Maybe they assumed he was close to as 'bad as he can be'. . .and did not realize he had it in him to be sooooooo much worse.
Too bad. . .soo sad for Sirius and maybe for an audience that expected the worse. . .and now will not get it.
They have probably discovered that his act is much more amusing when he is working around censorship.
I think that was the Greaseman wasn't it?
They've discovered that not that many Middle-School kids subscribe to Sirius...........
D@mn this is just too FUNNY!!!!!!!!!
My gawd! If this isn't a gimmick, I bet Howie is screaming to high heaven! That is why he left the other station. So he wouldn't have to put up with censorship.
Holy cow!
I agree
Thing is .. Stern could be funny and make his point without all the cursing
NY Post headline ping, with honorable mention for para 3.
I guess Sirius wasn't series.
That's the old Washington National to the 14th Street Bridge...but I agree with you. Howard is the world's biggest punk. He actually thought that would be a funny bit...the next day!
No, that was Stern, right after the Air Florida 90 crash in 1982. He called them and asked for the price of a one-way ticket from Washington National to the Fourteenth Street Bridge (which the plane clipped before crashing into the Potomac).
Greaseman got fired after making the comment, on Martin Luther King Day, "if they shoot four more, do we get a week off?"
Ironically, both of them worked for the same station, WWDC (DC 101)--Greaseman was Stern's replacement, but Stern came back on DC on WJFK a few years later (I think DC was the third market his show syndicated in) and got into a heavy ratings war with the Greaseman. The guy on DC 101 now, "Elliot in the Morning," is a not-very-talented Stern wannabee that they also simulcast on WXRL down here in Richmond.

Very series indeed.
I couldn't care less what this disgusting creep says or does.
