Howard Stern Sets 3-Year Contract Extension at SiriusXM

After months of contract negotiations, Howard Stern told listeners on Tuesday that he’ll be staying at SiriusXM for another three years.

“I’m happy to announce that I figured out a way to have it all — more free time and continuing to be on the radio,” he shared. “So yes, we are coming back for three more years.”

Speculation surrounding Stern’s future at the media empire had swirled when he went on vacation for several weeks in August and early September, only for his hiatus to last longer than initially intended. His “Howard Stern Show” contract was also set to expire by the end of 2025.

Still, Stern remained optimistic about his work with Sirius, playing around with the rumors with fellow host Andy Cohen and reassuring fans: “I’m not being fired. I’m talking to Sirius right now about extending in some way, and, if that works out, great. I love this company. I do.”

Stern joined Sirius in 2006 when he signed a deal that made him, at the time, one of radio’s most well-paid broadcasters. He then extended that agreement with a five-year, $500 million deal signed in 2020.

SiriusXM further confirmed news of the extension to TheWrap. Additional details are still to come.
