How Was "Free FM" Named?

"Free FM" is the moniker and on-air brand of several FM talk radio stations in the United States owned by CBS Radio, created because of Howard Stern's departure to Sirius Satellite Radio in January 2006. Free FM was given its name to re-establish that you pay for satellite radio. In his last days on FM radio, Stern attacked the "Free FM" moniker, arguing that while it may cost nothing to listen, "Free FM" is far from free, in regards to FCC censorship. (Wikipedia)
