If you blinked, you may have missed it.

David Lee Roth is no longer a radio host. The Van Halen rocker replaced Howard Stern on terrestrial radio in January, when the shock jock moved to satellite radio.

?It?s official, today is my last day,” the host of Roth Radio said to begin his final broadcast Friday.

Roth was given a contract for $4 million and the task of following in the footsteps of Stern, the most successful radio jockey of all time.

On his last show, Roth said his lawyers would be going after CBS Radio to make sure he gets paid.

“I was booted, tossed, and it’s going to cost somebody,” he said.

Opie and Anthony, who currently have a show on XM satellite radio, are expected to replace Roth.

“The Opie and Anthony Show will be replacing David Lee Roth in several markets on CBS Radio Free-FM stations,” they said on their web site.

According to the AP, the duo will have a three-hour broadcast that will air on the CBS channels and XM. They will then do a two-hour show for XM.

CBS Radio actually fired Opie and Anthony (Greg “Opie” Hughes and Anthony Cumia) four years ago, and are now bringing them back.

Roth said he will look for another radio gig, perhaps on Sirius Radio, home to Stern.
