All the Powells are leaving public service. It's not a bad thing.

The FCC has taken huge steps backwards in the last 4 years, trying to allow high concentration of ownership in media, attempting to regular public morals, and generally doing a poor job of actually fulfilling it's mandate. Digital TV still isn't a full out reality because the FCC keeps letting special interest groups play with the regs, the timetable, and such. That is how we have ended up with 4 different standards of broadcasts instead of one unified system.

Good riddence to bad rubbish.

Good news today!

Powell announcing that he is leaving the FCC and the Extreme Associates obscenity trial getting dismissed.

Now maybe my boy "Bubba the Love Sponge" can get back on the air!

He got a $750,000 fine from the current FCC administration.

I can neither confirm nor deny that my radio appearances contributed to the FCC fine...

All the shock jocks love our crazy shit.

They contacted me about http://www.crackwhoreconfessions.com so I sent them a Tshirt and permission to play the clips on the air!

Not sure how much of it they played because I don't have an XM radio :(

They haven't played any yet, but I do see your ads up on Foundry Music, which is where they put up all their files & whatnot.

XMRadio does have a web-stream account - I think it is $8/month with a free trial.
