Howard Stern’s iconic radio show on SiriusXM might end after two decades, reports revealed.
According to Independent, the future of the legendary radio host went into jeopardy after the broadcaster reportedly believed that he will now take a new offer as his contract nears its end.
Sources familiar with the matter reveal that the American broadcaster’s million-dollar contract with SiriusXM is coming up for renewal soon, and there is a possibility that he will either call it quits or will sign a short-term contract with SiriusXM.
An insider told The Daily Mail, “He may do a one- to two-year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. He doesn’t want to pull the plug on his employees like this.” Another added, “He is off in the summer but this year has been saying, ‘Maybe I should retire.’”
One of the sources even claimed that The Howard Stern Show host is considering “parting ways” with SiriusXM.
Stern, who is known for his outspoken and provocative persona, has interviewed numerous A-list celebrities during his career. He even talked to the former Vice President Kamala Harris before the 2024 presidential elections.
Another insider told The Sun, “Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want. It's no longer worth the investment... But as far as him coming back to doing the show, there's no way they can keep paying his salary.”
Notably, Stern in 2004 became one of the highest-paid radio figures in the US after signing a five-year deal worth $500 million with SiriusXM.
