| Roth
Vs CBS |
Metal Sludge reports: Rocker-turned-radio
host David Lee Roth, who accepted the no-win task of replacing ratings
king Howard Stern in January, was bounced from the airwaves Friday after
barely three months on the air in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and four
other markets.
"I was booted, tossed, and it's going to
cost somebody," Roth said on his last show, intimating that his lawyers
would go after CBS Radio for the full compensation due from his reported
$4 million contract. The timing of the move was interesting: It arrived
just days before the Roth show's first Arbitron numbers. [see full story
