Sources say that Howard Stern got a one day suspension from his syndicated show for promoting his new job too much which will be on Sirius satellite radio next year. Stern’s spokesman Matt Traub said that it was a paid suspension. "We expect him back on Wednesday,� said Karen Mateo, a spokeswoman for Infinity Broadcasting. Infinity provides the Howard Stern Show in over twenty markets. Mateo also said that she wouldn’t call Stern’s absence a suspension, but wouldn't elaborate. “This is an act of desperation by men who are losing their once-in-a-lifetime franchise,� spokesman Traub said Monday.Stern announced that he was leaving for Sirius last year, where he will receive a $500 million contract next year.
