Howard Stern has received more fines from the FCC than any other radio personality.

Howard Stern Is The Greatest Shock Jock In The History Of Radio.

Howard Allan Stern (born January 12, 1954)<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Stern#cite_note-Biography.com-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a> is an American broadcaster and media personality. He is best known for his radio show, The Howard Stern Show, which gained popularity when it was nationally syndicated on terrestrial radio from 1986 to 2005. He has broadcast on Sirius XM since 2006.

Stern landed his first radio jobs while at Boston University. From 1976 to 1982, he developed his on-air personality through morning positions at WRNW in Briarcliff Manor, New York; WCCC in Hartford, Connecticut; WWWW in Detroit, Michigan; and WWDC in Washington, D.C. He worked afternoons at WNBC in New York City from 1982 until his firing in 1985. In 1985, he began a 20-year run at WXRK in New York City; his morning show entered syndication in 1986 and aired in 60 markets and attracted 20 million listeners at its peak. In recent years, Stern's photography has been featured in Hamptons and WHIRL magazines. From 2012 to 2015, he served as a judge on America's Got Talent.

Stern has won numerous industry awards, including Billboard's Nationally Syndicated Air Personality of the Year eight consecutive times, and he is the first to have the number one morning show in New York City and Los Angeles simultaneously. He became the most fined radio host when the Federal Communications Commission issued fines totaling $2.5 million to station owners for content it deemed indecent. Stern became one of the highest-paid radio figures after signing a five-year deal with Sirius in 2004 worth $500 million.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Stern#cite_note-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a>

Stern has described himself as the "King of All Media" since 1992 for his successes outside radio. He hosted and produced numerous late-night television shows, pay-per-view events, and home videos. Two of his books, Private Parts (1993) and Miss America (1995), entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number one and sold over one million copies. The former was made into a biographical comedy film in 1997 that had Stern and his radio show staff star as themselves. It topped the US box office in its opening week and grossed $41.2 million domestically. Stern performs on its soundtrack, which charted the Billboard 200 at number one and was certified platinum for one million copies sold. Stern's third book, Howard Stern Comes Again, was released in 2019.

Growing up I did not listen to WNBC much. My station of choice was WXRK. To my knowledge Howard Stern is the First Person to say Masturbate over the Radio Air Waves without Censorship.
When his show first started, he was a DJ like everyone else. He would play music and do his thing in-between songs every day. Eventually, Howard Stern became so popular his show became completely Talk Format. Howard Stern would keep us all entertained for four hours a morning, every week day morning for Decades on Terrestrial Radio and still does so Today on Satellite Radio. Howard Stern is a Phucking Genius. Howard Stern (1954– ), one of the highest paid and most controversial radio personalities in the United States, has consistently pushed the boundaries of good taste and First Amendment free expression rights on the public airwaves. Howard Stern is a National Hero.

I tried to do Psychoanalysts once. It ended up, they put a straight jacket on my therapist and put them in the nut house.
