THE ICONIC Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM is set to be canceled after a stunning 20-year run, sources exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
Stern, 71, who has had a mega-bucks contract for decades at the subscription satellite radio provider, will likely cut some sort of deal for Sirius to keep his catalogue upon his exit, sources said.
After nearly 20 years, Howard Stern is set to part ways with SiriusXM, sources exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun
"Stern's contract is up in the fall and while Sirius is planning to make him an offer, they don't intend for him to take it," one insider said of the impending end to the shock jock's latest five-year contract.
"Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want. It's no longer worth the investment."
The insider added that fans may expect Sirius to strike a deal for his library.
"But as far as him coming back to doing the show, there's no way they can keep paying his salary," the source said. Read More Howard Stern "After you saw what happened with Stephen Colbert, it's like they just can't afford to keep him going."
Another source said Stern's political leanings are also not working in his favor.
Stern famously interviewed presidential hopeful, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the run-up to the 2024 election.
Harris' decision to appear on Stern's show was slammed by many Republicans who accused her of after avoiding a number of mainstream media appearances.
SiriusXM and Stern did not respond to The U.S. Sun's request for comment.

That’s my thought.
He’s foul and mean and ugly. Why watch?
There are some decent music radio stations on there. When we have to, we listen to games on the sports channels, too.
I’m not giving up my Sirius XM. Not yet.
Howard was funny before the divorce.
He ultimately became the thing he used to be against.
Stern has always been nothing more than a pig making p*ssy and d*ck jokes. Now, he’s just a woke pig making p*ssy and d*ck jokes. The fact that a no-talent pig like him can make hundreds of millions of dollars is truly disheartening.
I used to listen to Howard Stern religiously back in the day..every single morning Id turn on the radio and listen to him, Robin, and of course Ba Ba Booie, then he changed, he became hardcore leftist and it just changed him, he wasn’t funny anymore, he just became boring and angry
With the decline in viewership of television and movies, the studios would be far less willing to pay to get their actors and actresses on his show.
Was a groundbreaker a long time ago. In his day, he was a king on the radio.
There was nobody as good at that shtick.
The world turns. People change. Technology advances.
Will always remember what it was. The Howard Stern Show on the radio was indeed, a very big deal.
Well now they’re both out of a job.

I thought he was mildly interesting during the 90s when he would have Sen. Al D’Amato on for a guest interview and championed capital punishment. He was still too full of himself for my taste and got progressively worse.
As far as drive-time entertainment I much preferred Roe Conn in Chicago and the Drew and Mike show in Detroit. Never tuned in to Stern again after the mid-90s.

The Left wants him out of the way to get someone to take some audience away from Joe Rogan.
Didn’t listen to the Stern/Harris interview. Did he ask her to kiss another woman or ask her to strip for him? That seems to be the focus of most of his shows.
Good Riddance to bad rubbish.
I listened to him back in the day, not my thing.
The harmless little fuzball was king.
He was on Sirius because the show was seriously stupid. His show was basically for high school brained adults.
The most ridiculous wig next to Maxine Waters‘
They burn their listeners out on their overplayed songs by limited artist. Last time I had it a few years ago at about $5 a month I canceled it. Between the same songs over and over and the stations dropping out driving through the hills with trees overhead it wasn't worth the hassle.
My radio has a CD player, USB Ports, and bluetooth I can link my cell with, so I convert what music I want from my CD's left safely at home to MP3 then put them on a thumb drive and no more Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Doobie Brothers, etc that that are on at least three stations. Willie Nelson has a decent channel and last time I listened a decent mix and variation. To be honest I don't even listen to the free previews any more.
