Former Van Halen front man David Lee Roth and comedian Adam Carolla will replace Howard Stern starting January.

Rather than turning to a single replacement for its 27 soon-to-be former Stern stations, the U.S. broadcaster revealed plans Tuesday to offer a variety of names for different markets.

Carolla, known for his comedy work on "The Man Show" and "Loveline," takes over on the Infinity stations in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Phoenix.
