IT'S OFFICIAL: Dave taking over for Howard Stern

[Millermoos]

I just give Dave a chance with the radio .
As I said before if he is not coming up with new material better do something else than sitting around; naturally I would love to see him doing more music but I also admire that he works as a paramedic I think it's cool.

Really! You need to me here more! MORE, I say! I miss your humor.

Boy for an official announcement it's impossible to get a handle on which markets Dave will actually be in.

some say New York only, others say several markets......

What strikes me as strange is Dave always said music was his number one thing and everything else was a sidebar but a nationally syndicated radio gig would allow him and his music to reach an audience beyond us diehards.
I don't doubt that if Dave proves himself on radio he'll try to get into more markets but if he will be censored to death which is where broadcasting seems to be going it will be an uphill climb.
For the media to say he's taking over for Stern will leave readers to think he'll be syndicated everywhere (east coast anyway)
which is not the case.

Dave is awesome............on a stage with a mic in his hand with a drunk to his left, hot-sauce boy to his right, and neck-brace behind him.

Fuck, he's awesome on stage even without that dysfunctional triumvirate.

LOL...good point!

I'm certain "dysfunctional triumvirate" flys over the head of most of our readers...

I'm just going to post this here so I know where it is for future reference if need be.

What's Up With Infinity And "Free FM?"

October 18, 2005

Is Infinity Broadcasting using the impending departure of franchise personality Howard Stern and the groundswell popularity of FM Talk to roll-out a host of "Free FM" talk stations, some of which are Infinity properties that already are Talk and others that also currently air Stern's morning show?

Acting on a tip, FMQB conducted an Internet domain check on the following Web addresses to verify ownership and all came back as registered by Infinity directly or simply TUCOWS, INC, a name that also appeared on the direct Infinity registrations:

923freefm.com (presumably for WXRK/New York – Stern’s flagship station)
925freefm.com (presumably for KDJM/Denver – currently Rhythmic Oldies)
971freefm.com (presumably for KLSX/Los Angeles- an existing FM Talker)
freemfm971.com (presumably for WKRK/Detroit – FM Talk)
1037freefm.com (presumably for KPLN/San Diego – current Stern station/Classic Rock)
1053freefm.com (presumably for KLLI/Dallas – FM Talk)
1059freefm.com (presumably for WCKG/Chicago – FM Talk)
1067freefm.com (presumably for WJFK/Washington – FM Talk)
freefm1067.com (presumably for KLTH/Portland – AC)
1069freefm.com for KIFR/San Francisco (formerly KEAR-FM/San Francisco, which Inifinty recently acquired and is set to take over soon)

In addition, just last week, on October 13, Infinity registered 941freefm.com, presumably for WYSP/Philadelphia, which has Stern on in the mornings and is Active Rock the rest of the day and is also the flagship station for Philadelphia Eagles football. Also recently registered by TUCOWS, INC. (on October 10) was the interesting domain name: radiomutiny.com.

Could the picture also now becoming clearer for the names rumored to be "replacements" for Howard Stern -- names such as David Lee Roth, Adam Corrola and Mancow?

FMQB contacted Infinity Broadcasting spokesperson Karen Mateo, who responded, "We decline to comment on rumor and speculation."
