US radio empire Infinity have revealed how it plans to replace iconic DJ Howard Stern when he finally quits their much syndicated morning show to go over to satellite radio station Sirius later this year. Despite rumours comedian Jon Stewart and actress Whoopi Goldberg were being considered to take over the slot, the radio company now says it will launch a new show involving five or six presenters. After about a year those presenters that have won a popular following will be kept on to develop a new show that, bosses hope, will win a similar sized audience to Stern without being dependent on one expensive celeb.
