revisionist history in radio?

[acroyear]

In neither the DC101 nor the Howard Stern pages on Wikipedia does it actually mention the joke that actually got him fired.  Stern's page doesn't mention his firing at all, and DC101's just says "disagreement with management", as it was fictionalized in Stern's movie and book (apparently, the authors used Stern's movie as an accurate history, which it isn't.).

The Air Florida Flight 90 page does mention Stern's joke, but not that it's what got him fired (which I agree with - it's not relevant there).

Update - sorry, meant to mention this was specifically looking up the references on Wikipedia, not the official websites of anything mentioned here.  'Cause yeah, it's not like the official pages would mention anything about that incident if they could avoid it.

meant to imply - yeah, I was a Greaseman fan back in the 70s, while WAPE was the #2 pop-rock (no disco) station around (it was AM only, the #1 station was the FM pop-disco station).

From '82-'84 while I was back in Florida after my hiatus in California, WAPE was a country station, so I didn't bother with it anymore. And Grease had moved up north within a year of that return anyways.
