Roth out, shock jock pair in at CBS

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.

His replacements will be shock jocks Greg “Opie” Hughes and Anthony Cumia -- currently available to the 6.5 million listeners on XM satellite radio.

“Apparently we can talk about it now. So much for keeping a lid on this,” the pair posted Friday on their show’s website. “The Opie and Anthony show will be replacing David Lee Roth in several markets on CBS Radio Free-FM stations.”
