Stern's rude and crude style of entertainment (which many listeners support nonetheless) has earned him the sobriquet of shock jock and the title King Of All Media -- at least in the eyes of his fans. In his own mind Stern represents the future, where public moral standards will be much lower than now, in keeping with a longstanding trend. His show is frequently the subject of complaints by various listeners (and occasionally ethnic groups) who find his deliveries offensive - which he goes out of his way to encourage. Radio stations airing his show have occasionally been subjected to fines for violating FCC requirements due to the content of the show, but the parent conglomerate (Infinity Broadcasting, a subsidiary of Viacom) that hosts Stern's show seems to consider these fines a necessary price to pay, in order to support Stern's continuing popularity.

Struggling garage bands from Poughkeepsie to Pittsburgh are selling their souls to the devil: Howard Stern -- and it's paying dividends. Throughout his illustrious career, and frequently of late, the King of All Media has stripped a handful of desperate musicians of their pride and dignity -- daring them to suck toilet water out of his soiled shorts, eat his snot and basically do anything worthy of ridicule in exchange for a little airplay on his syndicated radio show. The bottom line is Stern's gross-out stunts seem to be working, according to the objects of the King's derision.

The countdown's on for Stern's arrival at Sirius Satellite Radio in January 2006. Fans of the shock jock are looking forward to hearing their favorite talk show host uncensored. Stern's imminent pay raise just might make the obscenity charges and lawsuits worth it after all: The self-proclaimed "king of all media" will have a $100 million annual budget at Sirius.
