Was flicking thru the radio stations this morning on the way into work and it seems Dave Lee Roth got the boot from Free FM in April
I must say that commercial radio out here does seem to be incredibly cut throat. If a presenter of a show in England has a squabble or a gripe with his employers, the listener tends not to really hear about it...(with the exception of the Chris Evans episode at Virgin!) but out here they tend to air their management greavances live on air!
Roths replacement two guys who, I think are called Andy and Opie seem to be in some kind of dispute already, and were slagging off lawyers for not allowing them to say certain stuff!
From what I can gather, it all harps back to Howard Stern (who Roth replaced) who was angry at the FCC for censoring him, so he decided to move to Sirrius satellite, who (supposedly) censor nothing.
It seems that the two new guys have been slagging off Sirrius and their lawyers wont let them reitterate what they said (which seems fair enough to me?!).
Dee-Ro is apparently considering following Mr Stern onto Sirrius, but it seems he was given the boot because he was a bit of a prima donna, and becuase his show sucked and listeners were leaving in droves.
Speaking of sucking...Lex and Terry are still on 102.1 The Edge :-( I wonder whatever happened to Jagger, Mondo and Dean?

Awww, I was hoping you might like to keep us up to speed with some bottom flight Rugby League team.
Well I wouldnt know about bottom flight rugby teams ofcourse (had to get that one in!)
But onto radio, I dunno if you can get it in Huston but I listen to the Stephanie Miller show a lot, its a talk show and they take the mick out of President Bush et all. Its really funny at times. I've always been interested in American politics (far more accomplished crooks methinks) so I get a lot of the jokes lol.
tell us about how you went to walmart to buy some coloured socks, if the best you can write about is only having white socks, things must be quiet.
Not quiet Phil, just busy :-)Not been to Wal-Mart yet, but when I do I shall blog about it just for you :-D
