I don’t get Howard Stern on the radio where I’m at, so that inspires this question:
When a show from this year is shown on E!, when did it usually originally air on the radio? Earlier that day? A week earlier? A month?
It varies. Without actually comparing radio/tv air dates I’d say it was a couple weeks on average.
On occasion he’ll have a radio show that he know the fans will really want to see and he’ll ask the E Television crew how quick they can get it on TV. In those cases the turnaround time can be around two or three days.
Santos is correct. More specifically, it is a pretty consistent 3-week lag, though occasionally speeded up as mentioned.
I eagerly await more Robo Spanker segments, which IMO are way hotter than the tickle chair.
Do they still censor the episodes? And it’s a best-of too, right? I mean, they only show half an hour of his or so hour broadcast, right?
Yes they censor the tv show. His radio show isn’t an hour, it ranges from four to five hours each morning.
It’s not a “best of” really - in other words, they don’t condense down each full radio show into a half hour tv show. They just take stuff that they think will work best on tv. If a particular celebrity interview is good they’ll use it, etc. Contests or interviews sometimes become multi-part tv episodes too.
They basically take some of the 20-25 hours a week of the radio show and pull out enough for 2.5 hours of tv shows.
