After months of speculation about his future on the radio, Howard Stern has signed a new contract with SiriusXM.
Stern announced his new deal with the satellite radio giant on his show Tuesday morning. “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,” Stern said. “So, yes, we are coming back for three years.”
SiriusXM had no immediate comment on the terms of the new deal.
Stern, 71, had been the subject of rumor-mongering because his current five-year deal is due to expire in a couple of weeks.
In August, the US Sun claimed that “The Howard Stern Show” was “set to be canceled after a stunning 20-year run.” The story also suggested that Stern’s exit might be related to his outspoken criticism of President Trump.
