WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Radio shock jock Howard Stern, who is moving to satellite radio to avoid broadcast decency rules, traded verbal jabs on air with Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) Chairman Michael Powell on Tuesday, charging him with nepotism and undermining free speech. "It is apparent to most of us in broadcasting that your father got you your job," said Stern, who called in while Powell was being interviewed on San Francisco's KGO-AM 810. Powell shot back that his father, Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites), had nothing to do with his appointment. The FCC...

Anybody listening to Howard Stern now? If you live on the Left Coast, PLEASE tape the show starting a little after 10 AM to get an accurate transcript to post here. Anyway, Howard is NOW blasting Moonves BIGTIME. He is goofing on Moonves and his girlfriend, Julie Chen by imitating Moonves saying, "Julie, come over here and service me NOW!" Howard is also playing clips of Moonves as he is goofing on him. One of the things Moonves says on the clip is how proud he is of the Hallmark production of their TV movies (thus giving lie to Hallmark's...

I was sitting here watching CNN as they are covering the California wildfires. They were doing an interview with an actor about his role in a movie about a fraudulent reporter for the magazine "The New Republic". CNN cuts off the middle of this interview and breaks to a phone call with the "mayor of San Diego" who reportedly has news about three arrests in connection with the fires. They put this guy on the radio and he states that, "three arrests were made in connection with the fires. He cannot release the names of the people but can confirm...

ESPN BECOMES BUTT OF PHONE JOKEAssociated PressOct. 16, 2003 9:11 p.m.BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — A man pretending to be infamous Cubs fan Steve Bartman tricked ESPN into putting him on the air for a live phone interview Thursday. The prank, on the 6 p.m. edition of "SportsCenter," was discovered shortly into the interview when the man referred to radio shock jock Howard Stern. The interview was stopped, and anchor Dan Patrick said, "We've been had. That was not Steve Bartman." "We made a mistake," ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said. "We have a process in place to prevent these type of...

Employing his Hollywood celebrity, Arnold Schwarzenegger took his campaign to the talk shows of two of his famous friends Wednesday as he engaged Howard Stern and Larry King in discussions of his personality, entertainment and politics. His appearances on Stern's morning radio show and King's evening TV show followed a session Monday on Oprah Winfrey's daytime TV program. In completing that three-bagger on the American talk circuit, Schwarzenegger — a personal friend of all three hosts who has been a frequent guest on all three shows — returned to the familiar territory of celebrity talk, where he has long promoted...

WASHINGTON - When you think about news shows, what comes to mind? There's "Meet the Press." And "Face the Nation." And now, Howard Stern's radio show. That's right. The Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) ruled Tuesday that Stern's raunchy radio program is a "bona fide news interview" program. The decision was in response to a request made by New York-based Infinity Broadcasting Operations Inc., which wanted a ruling that its widely syndicated Stern show is a news program and exempt from equal time requirements for political candidates. The decision will allow Stern to put actor Arnold Schwarzenegger (news)...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Even though shock jock Howard Stern's radio and television show features scantily clad women and raunchy chatter, regulators on Tuesday ruled it a news program, exempting it from equal time rules on political coverage. The staff decision by the Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) opens the way for the show to book two of the sexier candidates for California governor: Hollywood he-man Arnold Schwarzenegger (news) and porn-star Mary Carey. A media watchdog group immediately denounced the FCC (news - web sites) ruling, calling it a reversal of decades of U.S. media regulation designed to...

A bagman for a bigshot mobster is conned out of his money by con men. In revenge, the bigshot mobster has one of the con men killed.

(U-WIRE) BOSTON -- When Katherine Loy and Sandra Oliveira went to the annual College of General Studies ceremony on Friday, they expected to turn in their Capstone projects and hear announcements of academic accomplishments. They didn't expect to hear their own names announced for $10,000 scholarships, and they had no idea they'd be writing thank you letters to Howard Stern. For the next five years, the Howard Stern Scholarship Fund will award two $10,000 scholarships to Boston University CGS students continuing in broadcast journalism at the College of Communication. CGS sophomores Loy and Oliveira both received letters saying faculty...

6:40am: Yesterday Howard made a deal with Scott the Engineer. He had a trip to a NASCAR race but Scott the Engineer had to agree to go without asking for his wife's permission. Scott accepted the prize and said he was going. Ronnie the Limo Driver was also going to go as long as Scott got to go. Within minutes of that conversation yesterday Scott's wife called in and wanted to talk to Scott. Scott said his wife told him she wasn't even listening. Now Scott says he has other stuff he has to do that he can't get out...

<p>March 8, 2002 -- HOWARD Stern says a report that CBS is considering him as a replacement for David Letterman is "right on the money" and says he'd take the job "provided the details of the money are worked out." Stern also claims CBS had ulterior motives for leaking that information to Internet columnist Matt Drudge - and that Letterman is behind the leaks about his headline-making negotiations with ABC.</p>
