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.

Howard was funny before the divorce. Afterwards, not so much. In fact, my guess is that the old Howard would have had a field day mocking the new Howard.
I’m surprised he just doesn’t retire, he’s not a spring chicken anymore.
Bye bye.
I never liked that Ahole.
TRash... never liked that guy...
Stern is just a foul mouthed, loud, obnoxious Jew.
He won’t be missed.
Ahh shucks, no more vile, skanky, unfunny lunatic on the airwaves?
Howard Stern is why I instinctively reject anything to do with SiriusXM, and I have told them as much in terse terms.
He is a pox on civil discourse and an embarassment upon the airwaves.
GOOD. RIDDANCE.
Ditto.
Nor did I.
I thought he was crude. Heard him once and then never again.
He was on Sirius because the show was seriously stupid. His show was basically for high school brained adults.
He stopped being funny 25 years ago. Don’t know why anyone continued to listen.
His “humor” was literally for the mentally deficient.
He use to be one of my beloved champions but...(insert racist trope here)
Hmmm...
Since I never listened to him, I have to applaud the end of his contract, if it was funded by taxpayer money...
dude has always been a major pos
Stern, when Jackie Martling was on, was gold. The Cookie Puss episode was absolutely hysterical.
Since then he sucks up to Hollywood perverts and his liberal crap has lost him at least half of his audience. I haven’t listned in years.

Yup, life ain’t fair! 😂😂😂
