An eagle-eyed, rabbit-eared reader says that Sirius’ Howard 100 News is reporting that Howard Stern has been suspended tomorrow. I know nothing more yet; if you do, let me know. They’ve been bleeping like mad. It reached new levels of absurdity today as they bleeped the word “black” before hair and came in the studio to tell Fifty Cent that he had to stop saying “bitches.”
Free FM, indeed.
