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.

He is a DISGUSTING EVIL DEMOCRAT.....good RIDDANCE.
I think I heard Stern once said he hated Trump voters and didn’t want them to listen to his show. Apparently, many of them took his advice. Good riddance to the creep.
LoL!
After all the dirty nasty crap he’s broadcast over the decades he better find Jesus, and quick.
Yes, I know he’s Jewish but my comment stands.
I remember Michael Medved praising Howard Stern.
this was back when I was on the Medved Diet
Step one get in car at noon
Step two turn on Medved
Step three have your stomach turned so badly you no longer needed to eat lunch
He should have listened to his dad, “I told you not to be stupid, you moron!”
Whoa, Joy Reid, Stephen Colbert, Howard Stern - what is the cause of this cavalcade of failures and how do we accelerate it?
If my luck continues to hold, when he retires I will have missed his entire career.

The USAID money dried up.
Low IQ 18 year old males hardest hit.
Most 18 year-olds are like, “Who’s Howard Stern?”
Thanks to YouTube there are now thousands of podcasts to watch 24/7. Howard Stern is now just another relic from the radio era. Bye-bye Howard.
His career peaked when he was Fartman.
Why are they fed up with his political views? I thought he always comes down on the side he likes these days?
Back in the 1990s he did a good job of challenging establishment media - I used to like listening on the way to work.
Then he went to satellite and I lost track of him
Then he became a complete TDS sell-out.
He’s another example of a media success who apparently had no idea what he owed his popularity to.
People crave independent thinkers who don’t sell their soul to the highest bidder.
Wokeness is where humor goes to die.
That’s why he’s so angry, heheheheh....
I saw about a minute of his show once. He had two girls in bikinis on their knees with their butts toward the camera while guys threw pies at the girls butts.
You know, highbrow stuff...
He can go to hell
Another highly promoted but ratings challenged anti-Trump voice silenced.
Turning off the USAID spigot perhaps ?
For the last 20+ years he’s looked like a winning entry in one of those “Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians” contests.
