Not much in the way of surprises here, just confirming most of the rumors that have been out there for a while now.

David Lee Roth gets WXRK-FM in New York, WBCN-FM in Boston, WYSP-FM in Philadelphia, WRKZ-FM in Pittsburgh, WNCX-FM in Cleveland, WPBZ-FM in West Palm Beach, Fla., and KLLI-FM in Dallas.

Adam Carolla gets Los Angeles (KLSX-FM), San Diego (KPLN-FM), Phoenix (KZON-FM), Portland (KUFO-FM) and Las Vegas (KXTE-FM).
(Jimmy Kimmel will serve as creative consultant for The Adam Carolla Show, as well as advisor for Infinity. He will assist in the development of new talent and show ideas, along with making guest appearances on the program.)

Infinity stations in Sacramento, Buffalo, N.Y., and Fresno, Calif., will replace Stern by switching to the "Jack" format, which features expanded play lists of hundreds of songs — but includes no disc jockeys.

A dozen other Infinity stations will replace Stern with anything from talk radio to Tim Warner Inc.'s CNN Radio News. Rover, a disc jockey heard in Ohio, will expand his show into Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Memphis and Rochester, N.Y.

Washington-based morning hosts The Junkies will add Baltimore as an outlet, while WOCL-FM in Orlando will feature the team of Drew and Mel while KXBT-FM in Austin will air Star & Buc Wild.

The morning changes also include format flips in a number of markets, including several that debuted the new "Free-FM" format this week. Part of "Free" is Penn Jillette, one-half of the entertainment duo Penn & Teller, who will host "a unique one-hour live radio program" that will be featured on WXRK, WCKG, KIFR, WJFK, WKRK, KPLN, WHFS and KSFN beginning in January 2006.

DLR was on Stern this morning. It wasn't encouraging based on what I heard. He's clueless.

Time to petition for Carolla over Roth here in Boston.

They said Jimmy Kimmel was hired as a consultant for all of Infinity.

I wouldn't expect that to happen for a very simple reason ... DLR will work the east coast time slot, Carolla works the pacific time slot. If you got Adam, you'd be getting him at like 9a or 10a.

Does this mean that the Sports Junkies are back on in the morning in the DC area (WJFK)? Sweet.

Good point, my motivation for Coralla has more to do with my disdain for DLR though.

As most of you have heard, we can now officially confirm that, beginning January 3rd, 2006, The Junkies will take over mornings on 106.7FM WJFK in Washington and 105.7FM WHFS in Baltimore. The program will lead off with a Junkies 'Best Of' from 5:00A-5:30A and then broadcast live from 5:30A - 10:00A.

Sweet, I hated when they went to mid day, I couldn't listen anymore.

Good lord that's a long airshift. Four and a half hours? I hope Infinity is paying them well.

Where you been? The 530a drivetime has become the norm in most large mkts over the past few years & now i'm seeing an increase in 5a-10a shifts. In those cases, it's usually smaller markets (although there's at least one station in Atlanta doing it too).

The numbers for the extra time are, as you'd expect, usually very small, but what it's doing is allowing stations to get drivetime rates for an extra hour each day.

Where've I been? Satellite radio, my good man.

Actually, when I filled in on KTOK a few months ago, morning drive was 5:30-8:30.

The Junkies were huge here for a while, running the 7-10p shift after Don & Mike. Then they moved over to the morning show on HFS and then I lost track of them. They were pretty entertaining for the most part - some of their stories were hilarious....

I use to catch them late nights, and then when they moved to HFS in the mornings I listened to them all the time. The HFS went all Latin, and they moved to the midday drive on JFK, and I couldn't listen anymore since I was at work. What a job they have! High School friends talk about Sports, women, beer, and sex on the radio and get paid for it.

it's threads like this that remind me why I don't listen to the radio

<TT>To: Staff of the Howard Stern Radio Show
From: David Lee Roth (your new boss!)
Re: Some Changes
Date: October 26, 2005

Dear Staff,

By now you've heard that I, David Lee Roth, have been appointed Howard Stern's successor for the Howard Stern Radio Show (http://www.howardstern.com/).

Maybe some of you read about it in the papers; others of you may have just seen me renovating Stern's office, replacing his furniture with six Marshall stack amps I like to call my "musical desk," and his iMac with a collection of vintage guitars I plan on assembling into the shape of the internet. How can I get on the internet, you ask, without the use of a "computer mouse"? Hey, here's a question for you: Who thought of calling that thing a mouse anyway, am I right? What's next, younger men having sex with older women and posting their exploits on websites? I bet they call it a mouse because it looks like a mouse.

All I'm saying is: You have nothing to worry about with me, and things aren't going to change at all. I may not be the King of All Media, but I am the King of Allmusic (http://www.allmusic.com/). Take a look at that website and type in "David Lee Roth"--yeah that's right, I've influenced over ten different bands.

And after several hours of discussing this with some EMT friends of mine (http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,14392,00.html), I've even decided to keep calling the show the "Howard Stern Radio Show." I know that sounds incredibly modest, especially after considering several fantastic suggestions, including " The Howard Stern Radio Show presented by David Lee Roth," the "David Lee Rothio Show," and my personal favorite, "Diamond Dave's Diamondz." The "diamondz" would have referred to the high quality conversations I would have with guests on the show.

But let's just keep "Diamond Dave's Diamondz," which I would have nicknamed "D-cubed," to ourselves. Diamonds, as they say, are forever, just like the original name of this show.

But will the Howard Stern Radio Show remain as provocative? Can DLR--that's me--KIT--that's "keep it titty"--? Well I'll admit I'm not as interested in women having sex with other women as Mr. Stern was--in fact, I didn't even realize this was a thing people could do.

But I'll try my best here. Instead of people calling in and making orgasm sounds on the phone, maybe now we'll also talk to them about the real issues--about how orgasms are destroying our country. Instead of Jerry Seinfeld coming on the show and us ridiculing him mercilessly, maybe we'll let him tell us a few jokes--maybe I still think that guy's pretty goddamn hilarious. Maybe instead of lesbians who make out with other lesbians (again, wow--fucking wow), we'll have the two Van Halen brothers in the office, bickering like they always fucking do, and I'll get angry and try kill one of them.

If none of that works, we have a secret weapon: Sammy "the Jokeman" Hagar. I've seen this guy say things backstage that were so funny he should have been arrested. Need some evidence? Here's a joke he wrote especially for this letter:

A man walks into bar and looks at the jukebox--all the records in it are by Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers. "Hey," he says, "Do you have any other records besides Tom Petty in this jukebox?" "No," said the bartender. "It's a jewkebox." --by Sammy Hagar

Most people don't know that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were Jewish. But have no fear. This transition's going to be painfree. It's not like I'm going to say "Jump!" and you're gonna say "How high?" If anything, it's going to be me saying "Jamie's crying," and you're gonna say, "whah whuuuuh"--but in a funny guitar voice.

See you December!

Um, Carolla started on the radio....
