After contract stunt, Howard Stern says he’s still in talks with SiriusXM over new deal

Howard Stern, the renowned shock jock and self-proclaimed “king of all-media,” is not planning to disappear from the airwaves anytime soon. The iconic radio personality, best known for his long-running “Howard Stern Show” on SiriusXM, recently addressed rumors about his future with the entertainment company.

During a recent episode of his show, Stern, 71, revealed that he is currently in talks with SiriusXM regarding a new contract. He expressed his appreciation for the company and mentioned that they have been discussing how to move forward together. While a SiriusXM spokesperson declined to comment on the ongoing negotiations, Stern assured his listeners that he and the company are working towards a positive outcome.

The discussion about Stern’s future with SiriusXM was sparked by a prank that he orchestrated with fellow SiriusXM host and TV personality Andy Cohen. In a surprising turn of events, Cohen pretended to take over Stern’s time slot and rebrand it as “Andy 100.” Listeners were initially taken aback by the unexpected change, but Stern later returned to clarify that it was all part of a planned hoax. He thanked Cohen for his participation in the prank and reassured fans that the rumors of his departure were unfounded.

Stern’s current contract with SiriusXM is set to expire at the end of this year. The radio host has previously extended his contract with the company twice, in 2010 and 2020, with the latter deal reportedly worth $500 million over five years. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Stern remains a prominent figure in the world of radio and entertainment.

As the negotiations with SiriusXM continue, fans eagerly await news of Stern’s next move. Whether he decides to renew his contract with the company or explore new opportunities, one thing is certain – Howard Stern’s impact on the media industry is far from over.
