SYMPOSIUM: SHOCK JOCKS AND THEIR LEGACY

Declining Shock Value: Satellite Radio and the Mainstreaming of Howard Stern

 

Abstract

This article examines the legacy of the shock radio format specifically as it has been defined, and defied, by Howard Stern since his move to satellite radio in 2006. A comparative analysis of The Howard Stern Show before and after his first satellite show examines the cultural relevancy of the program within the context of an increasingly hyper-sexualized, multi-media environment.
