Exactly. Morning radio requires a certain kind of skillset. Right now Preston & Steve > anything else in Philly, which is why WMMR snapped them up so quickly after Y100 had its plug pulled.
Stern has his moments, but it seems like 95% of the times I've tuned in to him in the last couple of years have been:
a) Stern telling a semi-naked girl how much he wants to bang her with his mini-dick;
b) Stern ripping apart someone on his staff instead of letting internal show business remain behind-the-scenes;
c) Stern ripping apart his boss for dumping out of anything remotely raunchy.
Over the last year, add
d) Stern telling everyone that terrestrial radio is dead and Sirius will be awesome.
Not exactly the hookers-freaks-and-lesbians formula that propelled him to national stardom.
