Leiberman has worked for multiple Baltimore based radio and television stations, but is most famous for taking a stand against his employer Sinclair Broadcasting Group when the company decided to air an anti-John Kerry documentary shortly before the 2004 election. Leiberman was also a correspondent for 'America's Most Wanted'.

Howard Stern Show fans were shocked last month by the sudden departure of Howard 100 News chief Steve Langford. Langford, who had been with HSS since the jump to satellite radio in 2006, quit during the show's July vacation and slipped out of the studio without even saying goodbye to the King of All Media.
