Launch and Original Team
Howard 100 and Howard 101 went live for the first time on September 29, 2005, initially broadcasting silence. As Stern was still under contract with Infinity Broadcasting until January 1, 2006, he could not broadcast any material from the two channels, or talk on its airwaves. Howard 100 News aired its first newscasts on October 19, including radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge interviewing Stern's former writer Jackie Martling. The original team consisted of 17 professional journalists, including Lisa Glasberg, Steve Langford and Jessica Ettinger, better known as Erica Phillips. Just days after being fired from WNYW, reporter Penny Crone was hired to work for Howard 100 News.

Famous quotes containing the words launch, original and/or team:
“I had often stood on the banks of the Concord, watching the lapse of the current, an emblem of all progress, following the same law with the system, with time, and all that is made ... and at last I resolved to launch myself on its bosom and float whither it would bear me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The ideas of an age are most abundant where they are not crowded by original ideas.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
