Where can Howard Stern make a difference?

[Tummler]

IMHO, it's useless to speculate about Howard Stern's effect on the race without first locating his audience. To that end, does anyone have a complete and up-to-date list of radio outlets that carry Stern's show? This link is the best I could find, but it lists only 35 stations that currently carry Stern. Is that all?

The six Clear Channel stations that dropped Stern were: Orlando, FL (WTKS-FM); Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, FL (WBGG-FM); Pittsburgh, PA (WXDX-FM); Louisville, KY (WTFX-FM); San Diego, CA (KIOZ-FM); and Rochester, NY (WNVE-FM).

Even so, Stern is still on the air in a number of swing states where he could make a difference:

Arizona (10 electoral votes; Bush won by 6% in 2000): Phoenix (KZON-FM)

Florida (27 electoral votes; Bush "won" by 500 votes in 2000): Ft. Myers (WRXK-FM)

Michigan (17 electoral votes; Gore won by 4% in 2000): Detroit (WKRK-FM), Grand Rapids (WBBL-AM)

Missouri (11 electoral votes; Bush won by 4% in 2000): St. Louis (KPNT-FM)

Nevada (5 electoral votes; Bush won by 3% in 2000): Las Vegas (KXTE-FM), Reno (KBZZ-AM)

Ohio (20 electoral votes; Bush won by 4% in 2000): Cleveland (WNCX-FM), Columbus (WBZX-FM), Cincinnati (WAQZ-FM)

Oregon (7 electoral votes; Gore won by less than 1% in 2000): Portland (KUFO-FM)

Pennsylvania (21 electoral votes; Gore won by 4% in 2000): Philadelphia (WYSP-FM), York (WQXA-FM)

Tennessee (11 electoral votes; Bush won by 3% in 2000) and part of Arkansas (6 electoral votes; Bush won by 6% in 2000): Memphis (WMFS-FM)

Washington (11 electoral votes; Gore won by 5% in 2000): Seattle (KISW-FVM)

1. I hope his followers vote. Do they? (n/t)

[metisnation]

2. they do

I listen to Stern everyday in the morning...it beats listening to that nazi mancow. It has been great the last month he has been letting them have it, real Republicans will get his message..as for the fascists I don't know, they may try to get anti-sematic against Stern. But it has been great the last month. I bet his ratings are through the roof.

3. Stern has an audience of 8 million.

5. that's low. I've heard that reported but that's the minimum

During the summer anyway it gets up to 18 million

4. He will make a difference at the Repub convention

Can you imagine FartMAN at the protests??? Talk about media attention!!! :D :D :D

[Bombtrack]

6. Stern isn't going to show up to the protests

The protests in NYC are just going to hurt the democrats. It's exactly what the GOP wants for the news to show angry leftists making city and municipal workers, particuarly already strained security and police, have a harder, more nervous time. Nixon TRIED to create the same thing at the Miami GOP convention in 72

7. He Can Make a Difference

by going ahead with the Million Moron March on DC, specifically the FCC building. Just like serious activism, participation in one thing tends to lead to participation in others. Activism by Stern fans will translate into more people going to the polls.

Look at the list of states, the one that stands out? FLORIDA

8. In the juvenile asshole category that's his audience.

10. He won't make a difference anywhere.

It's too hard to get up and vote when you could be drinking beer and taking bong hits.
