A media watchdog group says Howard Stern's move from broadcast radio to Sirus Satellite Radio in 2006 is not an acceptable compromise.
The popular morning show host has been the target of several concerned citizens groups over the years, which oppose the obscene and crass content of his show.
"Because of lax FCC enforcement of the broadcast indecency law, Howard Stern has been permitted for years to befoul the public airwaves with a mean-spirited form of filthy, indecent and lewd burlesque," says Morality in Media president Robert Peters.
"Now that the FCC finally appears to be moving in the direction of fulfilling its statutory responsibility to enforce the broadcast indecency law, Stern announces that he will move to a satellite radio medium that is virtually identical to broadcast radio," he continues.
