Report: Howard Stern Lays Off Staffers; Will Do One New Show Per Week This Fall

According to a report in the New York Post by Oli Coleman, SiriusXM’s Howard Stern Show laid off “around a dozen” staffers as the show prepares to offer just one fresh program per week when Stern returns from his summer break after Labor Day. When Stern renewed with SiriusXM last December, he said the new deal gave him more flexibility and that apparently means fewer workdays. The Post reports that a core group of producers is being retained but with the new schedule, “he just doesn’t need that much content anymore.” Read the Post story here.
