Rock bands replace howard stern

Metallica Replaces Stern on WTFX/Louisville
FMQB reported on April 6 that WTFX/Louisville had cooked up a clever way to temporarily fill its very large morning drive opening. The Fox -- one of six Clear Channel stations coming to grips with life without Howard Stern -- had snared 3 Doors Down and homeboys Tantric to tee off a month's worth of Rock stars-turned morning hosts.

Now the station unveils a morning lineup for the rest of April that features some of Active Rock's essential core artists, including Metallica, Staind, and Godsmack. With Kentucky Derby season getting underway in Louisville -- the race isn't until May 1 but the festivities start this Monday -- the Fox will have plenty of action to get its mind off the loss of its high profile morning man.

Here's the next two weeks' lineup:

April 19: Tantric
April 20: Saliva
April 21: Disturbed
April 22: Staind
April 23: Fuel

April 26: Godsmack
April 27: Metallica
April 28: Metallica
April 29: Puddle Of Mudd
April 30: Locals Brackinridge and the 'Vile Billies



sounds like a real hoot.
