Yahoo! will webcast the activities of the self-proclaimed "King of All Media" in and around New York City once he has left the radio station, beginning at 9am (EST). Stern will be escorted on a Yahoo!-branded double-decker bus after his show and brought to an exclusive special event at the Hard Rock Cafe, all of which will be webcast LIVE from Yahoo!.
“Howard's fans will be able to celebrate his final day as if they were personally attending all the day's events”
"Howard's fans will be able to celebrate his final day as if they were personally attending all the day's events," said Lloyd Braun, head of the Yahoo! Media Group. "We've integrated many of our best tools and services throughout Yahoo! so that fans can connect with their community to watch, listen and engage in this experience."
To access the webcast, consumers can go to yahoo.com and search for "Howard Stern." They will be taken to a special countdown site where they will have access to the webcast, as well as other exclusive Howard Stern-related content. Additionally, through integrated services such as Yahoo! 360, Flickr, Yahoo! Podcasts, Yahoo!(R) Messenger with Voice and other elements, fans will be able to connect, blog, share photos, offer messages and tributes, and get news and information as part of the "Howard Nation" online community as he marks his exit from FM to satellite.
