NEW YORK (Billboard) - Infinity Broadcasting isn't commenting on an online report penned by a former Howard Stern Show regular that suggests David Lee Roth will be one of the personalities that ultimately replaces the ribald DJ on the airwaves.

Chaunce Hayden, a gossip and celebrity writer for New York/New Jersey entertainment guide SteppinOutMagazine.com, writes that "an Infinity source has confirmed the signing."

In February, the Securities and Exchange Commission reportedly questioned Hayden about possible insider trading of shares in Sirius Satellite Radio. Hayden was in Stern's studio Oct. 6, 2004, the day Stern announced his plans to move to Sirius in January 2006. The news drove up Sirius shares by 16% at the close of that day's trading.

What is certain is that Roth is among many entertainers that Infinity has auditioned on-air since Stern's bombshell announcement last year. Infinity executives have repeatedly made it clear that they are not looking for a singular personality to succeed Stern.

In April, Infinity president of programing Rob Barnett told Billboard Radio Monitor he was working with Roth in Boston at classic rock station WZLX. "The station has kind of turned the town on its ear with cab drivers, waiters and waitresses and employees of Barnes & Noble talking about this amazing guy on the radio," Barnett said. "It's an example of just being able to surprise and entertain your listeners without necessarily giving them the exact same menu every day." In Boston, Stern is heard on Infinity modern rock station WBCN.

The Diamond Dave-as-morning-man idea actually sprung from an Infinity station 3,000 miles away. VP of FM talk Jack Silver put Roth on the air for three hours earlier this year at KLSX Los Angeles, which Silver programs. "We were so taken by that performance that we created a stunt here in Boston to give classic rock listeners the opportunity to hear him all week long," Barnett said in April.

Infinity chairman and CEO Joel Hollander said in February, "One thing you should expect not to happen, is one person to be dropped in to replace (Stern) at 27 radio stations."

While Stern's contract is set to end Dec. 31, 2005, Hayden says that Roth will hit the airwaves in early September. Asked to comment on the Roth rumor, an Infinity spokesperson said, "We are looking at a number of personalities to replace Howard Stern, however there are no imminent announcements at this time."

Roth has two summer concerts on his schedule: July 15 in Sarnia, Ontario, and July 29 in Redding, Calif.

title: David Lee Roth to Replace Stern on Infinity Radio Station?
date: July 11, 2005


Online sources are saying that former Van Halen front man David Lee Roth will replace Howard Stern as Infinity’s syndicated morning talk show host. Stern is taking his show to Sirius satellite radio in January of 2006, after years of being the set-up man for Infinity’s hugely successful male-oriented talk and classic rock radio formats. The FCC might not like Stern and his often off-color commentary, but sponsors and listeners sure do. And with Stern on for morning drive, the hard-to-reach 24-54 male demographic is more likely to stay tuned for the rest of the day.

The question is will the outlandish David Lee Roth fill Stern’s size 15 shoes? Possibly. I heard Roth do a week’s worth of shows on a Los Angeles classic rock station and he was pretty damn good. He has more one-liners than Rodney Dangerfield and can shoot them off rapid-fire. Hopefully, Roth will get a chance to play music so that it isn’t four hours of Roth doing hyper interviews and telling all of his rock and roll stories. As compelling as Roth can be, it might only take a couple of weeks for him to grow old on audiences if he is doing a one-man-show.

Odds on Infinity turning Roth into a radio success? Not zero, but not good, either. This is the same desperate group that pulled incredibly successful oldies stations off the air for a format called “Jack” that sounds like listening to someone else’s iPod. Their marketing proclaims they “play what they want” when five million people in the fourth quarter of 2004 bought iPods to listen to exactly what they want, which Infinity and the other major radio conglomerates at this point should be aware often doesn’t include traditional FM broadcasting.

Me neither... but I do want to see him happy...so I guess I can be happy for him if this is what he wants to do.

Again, the only source for this is CHAUNCE HAYDEN, a disgruntled part of STERN's whack pack and a guy who is under investigation buying up his stock in SIRIUS right before STERN announced his departure. I'll believe it when I see it.
