Howard Stern is leaving Fresno. (Well, he's leaving everywhere, actually -- skipping off to the greener pastures and stripper poles of XM satellite radio.) While Infinity announced this morning that Adam Carolla is replacing Stern on the West Coast and "Diamond" David Lee Roth will take over East Coast duties, Fresno is getting an expanded diet of Infinity's Jack-FM. Anyone know how it's doing in Frez so far? The "iPod shuffle" format has been successful in L.A., but it's been a bust here in New York, primarily because it's "too white." (Don't expect to make the playlist, Prussian Blue.)
What does this all mean? Nothing really. I don't know anyone who listens to radio anymore, aside from Internet broadcasts of KEXP and KCRW. In the end, we're all just waiting around until someone can give us a portable music player with a high-speed Internet connection. Then no one will be talking about any of this Clear Channel-Infintity-satellite radio crap.
