Transcript of Howard 100 Newsbrief:

RALPH HOWARD: Everyone knows terrestrial radio had a breakdown when Howard Stern moved to Sirius XM Radio. But there is more to the story

DR. BLOGSTEIN: You had the responsibility of replacing Howard Stern when he went to Sirius Satellite Radio.

ROB BARNETT: Piece of cake, right?

STEVE LANGFORD: This we have to hear. The former CBS executive in charge when Howard left that sad cemetery of stations in late 2005

ROB BARNETT: The real truth of it has never completely come out.

STEVE LANGFORD: So many stories, so little time for Rob Barnett, who was at the wheel when CBS Radio went into a ditch after Howard moved to Sirius XM

ROB BARNETT: Howard is as unique a person in the world that we all live in and hes completely irreplaceable.

STEVE LANGFORD: Barnett revealing a couple of stories about how CBS Radio tried to move on without Howard, on Dr. Blogsteins Radio Happy Hour

ROB BARNETT: We went to Jon Stewart first—because we worked with him a little bit back in the MTV days—and offered him not hosting a radio show, but the idea of him doing one of the millions of jobs he does, which is produce. And we pitched him kind of a Lorne Michaels concept, where you could really start over from scratch and cast something that would be different than a typical four-hour radio show.

STEVE LANGFORD: When that didnt happen, Plan B involved a couple of other characters from Comedy Central

ROB BARNETT: We had some amazing meetings with Matt [Stone] and Trey [Parker] from South Park. That never came out in the press, but it was incredibly fun.

STEVE LANGFORD: But as everyone knows, the fun stayed at Comedy Central and CBS listeners—those who couldnt get up to change the station—ended up with David Lee Roth and company.

DR. BLOGSTEIN: Did that drive you off of radio? Because thats a no-win situation.

STEVE LANGFORD: More than four years later, the search goes on.
