Good write up about Mancow in the Tribune today.
Radio stations are in tough spot with the FCC. When your jock can say the wrong thing and cost the station a $325,000 fine, that's a heavy risk to assume to keep a program on the air that someday WILL cost you that money. Now, if they could get the jock to assume the burden of paying the fines he generates, maybe it would be another story.
The gist of the story was aimed at the fact that "shock jocks" aren't shocking anymore. Howard Stern wore it out. The Inet can bring (almost) anything shocking you want right into your family room, without censonship.
I missed it when Johathon Brandmeier went off in Chicago. I found his style funnier and more acceptable than Stern, Mancow, and that style.
My .02.
