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.
