Woodruff created The Howard Stern Show (WWOR)

Stern was approached by Bob Woodruff, vice president of program development at WWOR-TV, in early 1990. He agreed to host a weekly late night television show at a production and salary budget of $100,000. ^[5] The Howard Stern Show made its launch on July 14, 1990 with four Saturday night pilots. The program entered national syndication in January 1991 by All American Television. ^{[6] [7]} Unlike the Fox pilots, Stern enjoyed greater creative freedom. The WWOR show featured outrageous segments including "Guess the Jew" and "Lesbian Dating Game". A critic of the Los Angeles Times described the show as "at once incredibly funny and incredibly vile." ^[6] In the New York market, The Howard Stern Show often doubled those of Saturday Night Live on NBC during the half-hour the two programmes overlapped. ^[8] In Los Angeles, the show managed to attract a 34.4% market share at 12:30 am in the males aged 18 to 49 demographic. ^[9]

In July 1992, The Howard Stern Show came to an end. "We made this business decision, even though the show had high ratings, because the cost exceeded the revenue," a WWOR spokeswoman explained. ^[10] A total of 69 episodes were broadcast to 65 markets across the country; the last airing on August 8, 1992. ^{[11] [7]}
