Overview

• Andy Cohen opened Stern’s Channel 100 with a staged "Andy 100" takeover before Stern returned to say reports of his departure were false.
• Major outlets, including the Associated Press and CNBC, initially reported that Stern had left before correcting their stories.
• Stern said he is happy at SiriusXM and thanked Cohen for the bit, but he did not announce a new deal as his current contract runs through the end of 2025.
• SiriusXM leaders say talks are ongoing, with CEO Jennifer Witz expressing confidence last week that the sides will "get to the right place."
• The stunt briefly moved SiriusXM’s stock and sparked strong listener reactions, as the company contends with subscriber declines and growing podcast competition.
