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.

Dang! Is there ANYTHING the orange man can’t do???
Internet porn and social media rolled right up to Howatd Sterns front door and made him common and boring.
The bigmouth American bashers and trashers are all losing their jobs because the big guns can’t afford to pay them insane salaries anymore.
Stern isn’t as smart as he thinks he is. He got a sweet deal when he went to Sirius and has had ten years to save, plan and prepare for the day he was no longer relrvant. But his ego could not comprehend that day coming. So...now he will pay the price for his lack of vision. Though, I doubt he’ll be lacking or destitute.
Howard was good when there was still an envelope to push. But without an envelope to push, he became boring.
I’m with you 100%.
exactly-—the absolute bottom of the barrel gets the biggest compensation....the MSM in general normalized him over a long period of time, enjoying his bad boy rep and leeching whatever of it they could take for themselves vicariously....Has Trump said anything about this yet:?
+1
Title says major financial woes. Story does not talk about financial woes.
Yes, Stern is a retard scumbag. But I hate articles like this.
Is It?
3rd rate intellect briefly flitted across the media landscape trading on his “class of 65” book, then functioning as a unsophisticated movie critic and critic-at-large as I remember....then disappeared...I thought he was if nothing else a big SQUARE
Don’t know how long he’s been pulling down a 100 million a year but even if it was just one year he’ll probably be OK - maybe even start his own vanity podcast.
No comeuppance. No pain. No regrets for him. Sigh.
They should auction off his wig to a fellow pervert.
The man to listen to is Phil Hendrie and it is worth it to go to archive.org and type in the Phil Hendrie show and listen to episodes from 25 years ago. Relevant today as then. Funny, satirical send up of talk shows.
Phil does a podcast these days and you can catch all the characters there too...
20-30 years ago I used to take taxis regularly, and it seemed Stern was usually playing in the cab. Sometimes Rush, but not often.
Stern has become that “creepy old man”
Medved the pig-headed moron.
My gosh, talk about overpaid!
I’d would say “Butt Bongo Fiesta”.
