For the past four years the Howard Stern Show has been on Sirius Satellite Radio, Stern signed a five year contract and this would mark the last year of his contract.
Stern’s contract ending has brought a lot of speculation as to what will happen with him and the rest of the crew after December 2010.
One speculation is that Stern would go back to “terrestrial radio” and to radio conglomerate Clear Channel. Stern however has not speculated that he would go back to regular radio. In fact he has rallied against the decision. Since his move to Sirius Satellite Radio was caused in part because of the treatment that he received while on regular free radio, it is hard to imagine Howard Stern going back.
On January 26, 2010, Stern mentioned that he could not imagine going back to terrestrial radio, stating, “Once you come here, it very difficult to imagine going back”. For the most part Sirius has allowed Stern to run the kind of radio show that he wanted to run. It has been uncensored and no holds barred.
A move back to terrestrial radio would put more rules and constrictions on the show.
As of this time it is hard to say what will happen at the end of the year, we will have to keep listening to find out.
Foolish article. Non-news, written to manipulate the stock down, so shorters can cover. Get a life, author.
I think Sirius already has re-signed Howard Stern but they are not telling.
He is over paid and sucks. If they have re-signed him I hope it is for a more reasonable amount.
Recycling old rubbish so the staff can buy more shares?
There was an article published recently with audio from Howard’s show. Howard clearly stated that he WOULD NOT be returning to terrestrial radio. This article is no good.
Knock it off. What is wrong with these writers? Can’t handle the fact that SIRI is actually shooting high??? Go away and play with something else.
WTF is this?? This isnt even news..
gary you’re an idiot stern made sirius tons of money why don’t you do some research before you comment you turd and stern will never leave satellite until he retires even if he wanted to he would have to swallow his pride to go back and stern never swallows his pride
