It looks like it may take six different morning shows to replace the 27 cities shock jock Howard Stern is in, according to the Associated Press.
The self-proclaimed “King of All Media” is on the air through the end of the year, before he makes the leap to Sirius Satellite Radio.
Infinity Broadcasting announced a new morning drive time lineup today of assorted hosts for its 27 soon-to-be former Stern stations.
“When we set out to find a replacement for Howard Stern, we took the opportunity to cultivate a wide array of talent, from both in and out of the radio industry,” said Joel Hollander, Infinity’s chairman and CEO.
Ex-Van Halen front man, David Lee Roth will start in January on WXRK-FM in New York, WBCN-FM Radio in Boston, WYSP in Philadelphia, WRKZ-FM in Pittsburgh, WNCX-FM in Cleveland, WPBZ in West Palm Beach, Florida and KLLI-FM in Dallas.
Comedian Adam Carolla takes over on the Infinity stations in Los Angeles (KLSX-FM), San Diego (KPLN-FM), Phoenix (KZON-FM), Portland (KUFO-FM) and Las Vegas (KXTE-FM).
Infinity stations in Sacramento, Buffalo, N.Y. and Fresno, Calif., will replace Stern by switching to the “Jack” format, which features expanded play lists of hundreds of songs - but includes no disc jockeys.
A dozen other Infinity stations will replace Stern with anything from talk radio to CNN Radio News, AP reported.
