Miami Dolphins not happy with broadcast partner Howard Stern move
WQAM's decision Friday to add the Howard Stern radio show, effective Aug. 16, could impact the Dolphins' willingness to stay on the station long-term. WQAM has one season left on its contract and has been trying to negotiate an extension.

Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga could take the rights elsewhere -- perhaps to an FM station such as Y-100 -- although a source said WQAM still has a good chance to retain the rights.

Is Wayne Huizenga upset with Stern's 'raunchy' program? Or maybe Huizenga doesn't like the fact that Stern badmouth's George Bush, someone who the Miami Dolphin's owner has been a big supporter. Here is a list of some of the donations that Wayne Huizenga has made donations to:

BTW - the station that they might consider - another Clear Channel station. And that's BUSHIT that Stern & Football Flagship stations not doing well. Howard Stern and the PHildelphia Eagles have shared WYSP for probably over a decade and WYSP is one of the top rated stations in the Philly area (usually competing with all news station KYW.)

2. Yeah it's about Bush bashing. Talk about raunchy

how about them cheerleaders bouncing around. Granted not as graphic and Stern, but exploitation still.

[Caution]

4. Ditto on WBCN in Boston. Station is one of the top in Boston

with Stern and the World Champion New England Patriots.
