Howard Stern "CBS Lawsuit Press Conference" (part 1)

h0wardsternblog...

[@johndalton3180]

Howard was very smart here. He knew the last thing high powered executives like is to be bad mouthed publicly. This, plus his daily haranguing of Les, Joel, and Sumner Redstone on his show brought the lawsuit to a quick end, and Howard recovered his tapes.

[@mikemurphy3820]

Love how Howard stands up for himself and doesn't allow anyone to strong-arm him 👍🏼

Perfect. Howard spoke out in a clear way, in order to defend his name. Anyone would do that, if somebody are bulling, lies, and try to smear your name and reputation. But he did it perfect at this conference. Thanks from Krusty in Denmark.

There's no question that Howard is extremely intelligent.

[@tRapdontRap]

He knows radio and entertainment(in general) that's for sure

[@mrnintendo88]

An incredible liar

[@Kevin-tz2lv]

@@mrnintendo88 so you know the truth about this lawsuit? Do tell

[@mrnintendo88]

Kevin H. CBS sued him for a secret agreement. Howard convinces us in this vague statement that CBS didn’t know about the deal but he’s twisting the truth. Howard breached his contract by having secret talks with Sirius and XM. CBS had a right to match the offer and to know if and when stern was in talks with other companies per his contract but they were kept in the dark and didn’t know until he was already signed. Howard then proceeded to promote Sirius on CBS air 2004-2005 to gather as many subscribers as possible. This was done to meet a subscriber quota Howard and Sirius had that would net him a big stock option bonus worth 220 million. (This is the secret compensation) CBS was pissed so they allowed him to promote Sirius with the knowledge that they would sue him later for breach of contract and they had every right to. Stern is squirming in this conference and he knows he screwed up. Sirius and CBS settled for 2 mil plus whatever stern gave which is undisclosed.

Howard argues like he speaks on the radio with a lot of anecdotal stories that aren't really evidence. If it were anyone else than Howard Stern I don't think it would have gone over very well but as it turned out, he argued his case quite well, Sirius only had to pay out 2 million dollars and Howard got control of his tapes.

[@oliverrojas7117]

Thanks, due in part to reading the Washington Post, in the early 2000s I was alerted that Howard Stern was in the midst of a power struggle with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for what I believe to be nothing other than speaking his mind. At that time my interpretation of the cause of the new found scrutiny had something to do with a change of leadership at the FCC. This drama preceded his crossover from public to private radio, which in my opinion was a very sad day for the public, who was now bereft of an opportunity to listen to highly critical, analytical radio infused with political humor, satire, sexual content and light- hearted fun.

Howard is a smart dude and has a crazy way with words ...but has a very feared lawyer as well...Dominic was a beast

[@lineartechbd1600]

I agree, Howard is being sued for plugging sirius while he was with cbs. I remember him insulting his employer by plugging their competition on the air. I believe that violates some kind of payola laws because he was advertising sirius for his own personal benefit. He used cbs to maximize his sirius subscriptions which resulted in him making hundreds of millions in subscription bonuses.

[@BobABooey.]

I haven't listened to terestrial radio since Howard went to satilite.

[@hellosweetheart3350]

Howard, please step up your game nowadays, I listen to you on Sirius XM radio in the vehicles I deliver for a dealership and I'm glad their are 2 different channels so if I'm bored with one I can switch to the other but alot of times it's boring...not the worst but kinda boring

[@fadedP]

shouts out to Rover’s Morning Glory

[@andrehb]

6:48 "and for the next 14 months I talked about Sirius Satellite Radio much in the same way I've talked about my book deals, my movie deals" -- this is Howard's crafty way of saying 'CBS allowed me to promote my movies and books, so why are they now suing me for promoting Sirius?' -- but the answer is simply that Howard was promoting a competitor to CBS while still employed by CBS. I'm not sticking up for the bloodless corporate suits at CBS, but Howard's not the martyr he's trying to make himself out to be here.
