He who has ears to hear...

Shock jock Howard Stern has always been overpowering, but now he's rolling over Christian radio stations and offending sensitive commuters.

The King of all Media is transmitting on Sirius Satellite Radio, and a change in the fm transmitter used to send signals from satellite radio or iPods through the air to a car's antenna is causing problems for others on the highway. New units overpower all surrounding cars.

So commuters tuning in for a little contemporary Christian music on 88.7 Way-FM in southwest Florida heard the raw, unbridled Stern instead, complete with four-letter words and a discussion about out-of-the-closet former NBA player John Amaechi and the homophobic reaction by former Miami Heat guard Tim Hardaway.

Even NPR is complaining, but the FCC has yet to address the issue.

Strangely, The Wittenburg Door anticipated all this in a prescient article a while back.
