Controversial radio host Howard Stern is set to have his show cancelled after nearly two decades of headlining SiriusXM, after reports say his contract will not be renewed.
According to a report from The Sun, SiriusXM is expected to make an offer, though it’s expected that Stern will not be accepting.
Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want, one source told The Sun, adding that it’s no longer worth the investment to keep paying the reported $100 million-a-year salary Stern is currently receiving.
SiriusXM is expected to negotiate a deal to retain Stern’s digital library, though the show does appear to be winding down after 49 years on the air.
There’s no way they can keep paying his salary, another source told the outlet.
In addition to declining popularity, the show has caused significant financial losses for the platform, and SiriusXM executives are reportedly fed up with Stern’s outspoken political views.
Stern, known for his boundary-pushing content, became somewhat of a zealot on COVID-19 pandemic policies and vaccine guidelines.
Stern famously advocated for mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations while being dismissive of civil liberties concerns raised by vaccine opponents.
When are we going to stop putting up with the idiots in this country and just say it’s mandatory to get vaccinated? Fk them. Fk their freedom. I want my freedom to live, he said in September of 2021.
During the same month, Stern mocked fellow radio hosts who had recently passed away from the virus.
Four of them were like ranting on the air — they will not get vaccinated… they were all dying and then their dying words were, ‘I wish I had been more into the vaccine,’ Stern ranted without evidence.
Stern’s ramblings had reportedly worn thin on SiriusXM executives by the time he interviewed Kamala Harris and made a number of controversial comments about Donald Trump and his supporters.
I don’t hate Donald… I hate you for voting for him, for not having intelligence. For not being able to see what’s going on with the coronavirus, for not being able to see what the Justice Department is doing, Stern said of the current president’s 81 million supporters in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.
I hate you, I don’t want you here.
Stern made his name as one of the most recognizable voices in radio, starting out at WNBC and then “K-Rock” WXRK, where The Howard Stern Show became a national phenomenon.
After moving to SiriusXM in 2006, he helped drive the satellite radio service’s subscriber base and became the face of the emerging brand.
The show’s cancellation comes just weeks after CBS announced it would be cancelling its long-running late-night program and axing current host Stephen Colbert — another once-popular media personality whose hyper-partisan shift has led to massive losses.

I never listened to that potty-mouthed prevert.
I can’t stand Stern and got XM instead of Sirius because of that. I hated when they merged.
I have barely heard of Stern in the last 10 years. Used to hear of him all the time. Had a small uptick during COVID, where he literally lost his mind and hasn’t been relevant since.
No loss.
‘Tis interesting to observe how many lefty so-called
‘talents’ are as fugly outside as they are inside.
If you knew ahead of time you were being cancelled, would you even show up for your remaining shows?
Cancels in January. He’ll be around for a while, making hateful statements.
Colbert is out in May 2026 btw, when HIS contract is up. These things never are in the articles. I don’t know why.
Boy, leftists are full of hate.
The fact that a jerkoff like Stern was paid $100 million a year is a good example of everything that is wrong in this country.
What will I do without listening to his intellectual conversations? /s
The problem is that he is now boring. I had a free trial to SiriusXM a few months ago and a 2+ hour drive one morning. Decided to give Howard a go.
The last time that I listened was in the early 2000s when he was on regular radio. His humor was crude and offensive back then (but at least a little funny) but after a few weeks I would get bored and switch to Imus, who I would also get bored with after a few weeks and the back to Stern.
But the show I listened to now was simply boring, there wasn’t anything funny (offensive or otherwise)
Go Woke, Go Broke
Go woke.....
How many of these libs were paid by USAID?
Stern gained some popularity in the 1990s because he was “edgy” - ie) sexually perverted and vulgar
Now that he and his ilk have thoroughly destroyed American cultural standards, there’s nothing left for him to feed on
Apparently all of them!................
His tomb stone should read “A DARK STAIN ON HUMANITY”.
“A DARK STAIN ON THE UNDERWEAR OF HUMANITY”................
“A DARK STAIN ON THE UNDERWEAR OF HUMANITY”................
Awwww .... did his USAID $$$ dry up?
These useless idiots must’ve all been on the OUR DIME dole .... adios, moFAfos.
AMF... you won’t be missed.
