Lewd Radio

"No, but I know it when I hear it!" I'm guessing it would include giving away vibrators to female listeners (who would then express their gratitude by making use of the gift on the air), or running a game wherein contestants try to guess the last time their parents had sex, and the host calls up the parents to see how close the guess was. (These were both featured on shows on the "XM Extreme" channel on XM satellite radio but originated on FM stations owned by Clear Channel. That channel 's basically "morning shock jock shows all day." And yes, sad to say, I listen sometimes when nothing else strikes my fancy. Honest, I subscribed to it for the classical music channels, but sometimes you don't feel like listening to Bach after a long day at the office.)

The same folks that bring us Howard Stern and Don & Mike. (They also brought us Opie & Anthony, until they were fired last year for their stunt in New York's St. Peter's Cathedral.)

Whatever happened to Opie & Anthony? I assumed they'd get handed their walking papers, maybe pay a fine, hang out in radio purgatory for a couple months, and be hired back by some eager-for-ratings station.

I miss Kent Voss, who used to have the afternoon drive-time show on WWDB before they changed formats. For me, his show was the perfect balance between not being too serious and not being completely inane and idiotic.
