DLR Canned

The logical follow up to my last DLR post is this one, in which Mr. Roth will be ousted from his CBS gig. Like him or not, he's gone. I feel that CBS should have invested more time into the show. You can't expect to replace Stern with equal results in less than three months. Roth still needed to nurture his role more. Oh well.

In a strange twist, Infinity will be licensing Opie & Anthony's show from XM in seven of its markets, including NYC.

David Lee Roth's short-lived radio CBS morning show stint will come to a screeching halt within a few weeks, sources say. In one of the first satellite-to-terrestrial radio syndication deals, XM Satellite Radio has an agreement in place to license its Opie & Anthony Show to CBS Radio as a replacement for Roth in seven markets.

Opie and Anthony will air on all seven stations where Roth replaced Howard Stern in January: WFNY New York, WYSP Philadelphia, WBCN Boston, KLLI Dallas, WNCX Cleveland, WRKZ Pittsburgh and WPBZ West Palm Beach.
