Howie to WABC or WPLJ ?

[ShelleBink]

I realize this was on O&amp;A last week, but I missed it... and for those of you who missed it too, the NY Post reported today about the possible move <a target="_self" href="http://www.nypost.com/business/howards_return_to_free_air_rumored_business_john_m ainelli.htm">here</a><br />

It's part of that vast conspiracy to destroy Howie, don't you know.

Sirius is growing faster than cell phones!

<p>Radio insiders are reporting rampant rumors that the shock jock will &quot;do an Opie &amp; Anthony&quot; and return to old-fashioned radio from the obscurity of satellite radio. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>500 mil or not you know that one had to hurt when ole Howie read it... and yes he did read it... </p>

The funny thing about the article is that it says &quot;The rumors just won't go away!&quot; If it's really true though, would ABC or WPLJ be the likely spot for him to land? They both have extremely successful morning shows. I can't see them tossing those shows that already generate great ad revenue... Even for Howie. Not to mention, how will he backtrack from all the &quot;I can't survive in terrestrial radio anymore&quot; talk? He would be such a hypocrite... Not that that ever stopped him before. I really think Sirius is taking a bath because of his deal and they may be trying to figure a way to recoupe some of the money... Even if it means trying to whore him out to terrestrial, given the fact that it seems to be working great for O &amp; A.<br />

Eh, who cares?

<p>For once I have to agree with Opie.</p><p>Howard planted this story in a pathetic attempt to hold on to his fame.&nbsp; Honestly, other than on a few message boards, nobody is talking about Stern anymore.</p>
