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.
