CNN/Money’s Krysten Crawford wrote recently about the long-term impact that the departure - not on his own volition - of Howard Stern’s morning radio program from Clear Channel stations in six cities. Crawford offers details on Arbitron ratings that show “significant” losses of listenership in mornings for those stations. However, it is apparent that it’s still a bucket, drop situation for Clear Channel, whose other ~1,200 stations aren’t hurting because of this.
Sure, Clear Channel might be blowing it off, but as is pointed out in the article, Infinity-owned stations that Stern will be off of by year’s end can at least get a taste of what’s in store.
