SiriusXM and Howard Stern announce that Stern will continue to host his program on the satellite service for three more years. Stern told listeners, “I am happy to announce that I have figured out a way to have it all. More free time and continuing to be on the radio. Yes,
we are coming back for three years. Thanks to the good folks here at SiriusXM, who I told you, I really do adore. I was able to create Robin [Quivers] a more flexible schedule and so we’ll be back. I know you and I have talked about it privately Robin, even though you’re pretending you didn’t know the announcement. But I did check with my Robin to see that she was up for it as well because if Robin wasn’t up for it, then I wasn’t going to do it. I still do love being on the radio. I think the show is better than ever, I really do believe that in my heart.” Stern’s five-year, $100 million contract ends this month and speculation about whether he and SiriusXM would be able to come to terms on a new deal or even if Stern wanted to continue began last summer with many media pundits predicting the end of their relationship.
