On Stern’s side of the satellite radio divide, the crystal ball is foggy is best. There is no doubt Stern can survive with censors breathing down his neck, after all, it’s not like his long running show on E! was allowed to bare all. Satellite radio, however, offered a plethora of possibility for the most controversial voice on the airwaves. He will be hard-pressed to find a situation more uniquely catered to his every beckon call. Would Stern take his talent to the traditional FM/AM market? There’s a better chance Conan O’Brien stars in a new fall NBC pilot. It’s tough to imagine Stern taking step back to any medium with limited range of motion, he has quite simply come too far. While a return to cable may be a long shot, television all together is not out of the picture. Were the right deal to come along for, say, a half hour on HBO, it could be tough to turn down. If nothing else, there’s always plenty of space on the internet, where countless viewers can see and hear depraved deviants do god-knows-what to god-knows-what with god-knows-what and no seems concerned enough to step in and seriously regulate. With the technology today by which any Average Jonas can hear himself loud and clear, it’s a safe bet that a high profile individual with a following as wide as Stern’s will have no problem keeping the on-air light on for the foreseeable future.
