HOWARD STAYS WITH SIRIUS XM

Howard Stern is staying put at SiriusXM, having signed a five-year agreement to remain with the satellite broadcaster.

He will continue to produce and host The Howard Stern Show. The Howard Stern archive of audio and video will be licensed to SiriusXM for an additional seven years.

Stern joined SiriusXM 15 years after realizing he was in, as he put it, “a toxic relationship with terrestrial radio.” (Who can forget Pig Vomit?)

“No matter how well I treated the medium, no matter how successful I made them, they abused me,” he said on his show today (12/8). “Going to SiriusXM liberated me. I felt like Tina Turner freeing myself from Ike. And despite the naysayers and the ridicule, we have persevered and are thriving.

"I've been proven right about satellite radio over and over again. With this contract renewal, I can't wait to see what else I'll be right about. Certainly, I have a lot more to say about Metamucil crackers and stepmom porn. Plus, now that I can work from home, I simply don't have an excuse to quit.”
