Howard Stern’s iconic radio show is facing cancelation as his $100M Sirius contract nears its end
Why Howard Stern’s radio show could be facing the axe
- Howard Stern's iconic radio show on SiriusXM is reportedly set to conclude after two decades, as his contract approaches renewal.
- Sources suggest that SiriusXM anticipates Stern will decline a new offer, primarily due to the substantial financial demands of his salary.
- Stern previously secured a five-year deal worth $500 million in 2004, and the broadcaster is now reportedly unable to sustain such high payments.
- While financial constraints are the main reason, some sources indicate that Stern's outspoken political views, including his criticism of President Trump, may also be a contributing factor.
- Stern joined SiriusXM in 2004 to avoid Federal Communications Commission censorship, having been the most fined radio host for indecency on terrestrial radio.
