Overview

• The Howard Stern Show’s official accounts announced the host will now speak on Monday, Sept. 8, after a planned Sept. 2 return was pulled and reruns aired.
• SiriusXM’s Scott Greenstein called Stern a core draw and said renewals at his level take time, while CEO Jennifer Witz said she is confident they will get to the right place.
• Stern’s current five-year agreement, renewed in 2020, runs through the end of 2025, and cost considerations are central to any extension.
• The show previously ran promos teasing a dramatic reveal about the host’s future, playing off weeks of speculation about cancellation or retirement.
• Reports from tabloids about cancellation, internal emails, and sharp audience declines remain unverified, and some outlets have floated short-term deals or archive licensing as speculative possibilities.
