Banned From Clear Channel Radio
Family is not the only complication Howard has dealt with during his life. Most of his career battles revolved around censorship. Back in 2004, his unfiltered radio habits got him into trouble. The Clear Channel Radio had his show on six different markets at the time. When Stern interviewed Rick Salomon things got a bit out of hand. Salomon and Stern went into explicit details about Salomon’s adult tape with international star, Paris Hilton. The FCC fined the station $495,000. Therefore, Clear Channel Radio banned Stern.

Move to Satellite
A censored show was not an option for Stern. Thus, after he was banned he announced his move to satellite radio. On Sirius Satellite Radio he could freely speak without concern since satellite radio is FCC regulation free. Despite this freedom, Stern still confronted issues with the new station over payment. Win some, lose some.
