Nasty Subterranean Hermit Howard Stern May Retire (and Trump Will be Blamed for SiriusXM's Fascist Decision)

I think Trump will be proud to take credit, but the truth seems to be that the former "King of All Media" has terrible ratings and hasn't been relevant for decades.

Stern, who apparently takes the entire summer off -- are you kidding me? -- is wondering if he should retire. He had fifteen good years in his fifty year career, and they were all thirty years ago.

Legendary radio host Howard Stern faces an uncertain future at SiriusXM as his five-year, $500 million contract winds down, according reports.
The 71-year-old shock jock would be open to a short-term contract if the price is right, but he's also considering calling it quits with SiriusXM, as first reported by the Sun.
"He may do a one- to two-year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. He doesn't want to pull the plug on his employees like this," one source told the Daily Mail.

Sure, he's thinking about other people's feelings. That is just Classic Stern (TM).

"He is off in the summer but this year has been saying 'Maybe I should retire,'" another source told the outlet.

Reportedly, this vain, ugly ghoul is upset that SiriusXM has another big "star" (is anyone on Serius really a "star"?) and he's not top dog.

The insider noted that Stern is irritated with SiriusXM's reliance on competing radio star Andy Cohen.
Another source said Stern is even thinking about "parting ways" with SiriusXM.

Oh dear, I never would have suspected that Stern was driven by both greed and petty vanity.

Shocked! I'm shocked, I say.

...
The host's reputation has flip-flopped over the years between being regarded as an awe-inspiring dominator who could pry anything out of any guest and an out-of-touch has-been.

Well, it "flipped." It never flopped back. You need the flopping part for a flip-flop.

Stern has struggled to clarify his identity over the last few years while insisting that he is "woke" and simultaneously doing layup interviews with people like former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris despite leaning Republican earlier in his storied career.
...
Stern's show doesn't pull in nearly as many listeners as it used to, especially compared to Cohen's two channels. Stern's program has fluctuated from 20 million daily to just 125,000 of late.

That's not a "fluctuation," that is an absolute collapse.

Again, a fluctuation requires the flux to go back the other way. If you don't have the flow back to the previous condition, what you've got yourself right there is a simple collapse.

Does anyone in the written media know how to write? Do they know what words mean?

Sirius and Stern stopped releasing Stern's ratings in 2020. Stern has always bragged about his ratings more than even Donald Trump, so if the ratings are now an absolute corporate secret, they're terrible.

ThatParkPlace says that Sirius no longer believes he's worth the $100/year investment.

In other words, their reportage is more that Sirius wants done with Stern, unlike the NY Post report which claims Stern is making the decision to retire entirely of his own volition.

Sources indicate that The Howard Stern Show is set to be canceled on SiriusXM as the shock jock's lucrative contract approaches its expiration this fall. The 71-year-old radio icon, who has been a cornerstone of the satellite radio platform since 2006, may not see his five-year deal renewed amid reports of financial disagreements and shifting priorities at the company.
According to insights shared with multiple outlets, SiriusXM is preparing an offer for Stern but does not anticipate him accepting it, primarily due to insurmountable gaps in salary negotiations.
Stern's current contract, reportedly valued at around $100 million annually, has been a benchmark for high-profile media deals, but insiders claim the investment no longer aligns with the company's economic realities.
"Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want," an insider source claimed. "It's no longer worth the investment."
...
Cost-cutting appears to be a driving force behind the decision that could lead to Howard Stern being canceled. SiriusXM, facing broader industry challenges, has been reevaluating high-ticket talent contracts.
One could easily point to parallels to recent changes in late-night television, noting, "After you saw what happened with Stephen Colbert, it's like they just can't afford to keep him going."
This sentiment echoes reports of SiriusXM's reluctance to sustain Stern's salary, with sources emphasizing, "There's no way they can keep paying his salary."
Adding another layer, Stern's outspoken political views may be influencing the negotiations. A vocal critic of President Donald Trump, Stern has used his platform to mock conservative figures and hosted Vice President Kamala Harris for an interview ahead of the 2024 election--a move that drew backlash from Republicans.
"It's more likely everything to do with the political climate," another source suggested, implying that Stern's "woke" shift could be a factor in the company's hesitance.
...
SiriusXM has ceased releasing Stern's ratings since 2020, reportedly due to a significant decline in listenership, with critics attributing this erosion to his increasingly "woke" persona and overt political commentary. This mirrors broader trends where outspoken anti-Trump celebrities encounter backlash, including audience boycotts and financial repercussions, as seen with figures like Stephen Colbert.

ThatParkPlace reports that Sirius' real offer is a much smaller deal to retain the rights to Stern's archives of old shows, while no longer paying him for his new, unfunny crap.

Stern has proclaimed he "hates" Trump voters -- aka his prior audience.

In 2024, Stern declared he "hates" Trump voters, calling them "stupid" and questioning their intelligence.
He said he didn't mind losing half his listeners if Trump supporters stopped listening to his show.
Stern claimed Trump "despises" his own supporters, suggesting they wouldn't fit in at Mar-a-Lago.
Following the 2024 election, Stern expressed fear that America wasn't ready to elect a woman president like Kamala Harris, implying Trump's victory reflected societal biases.
In 2023, Stern embraced his "woke" label, affirming he is anti-Trump.

Ba-ba-booey bye-bye.

Stern's downfall began with his divorce and his hosting gig on America's Got Talent.

Before his divorce, Stern seemed like an everyman. He would moan about being tempted and tantalized by the parade of naked women in the studio, and would faux-pray to God to keep him from committing adultery: "Please God don't let me cheat, I love my wife, I love my money."

Then he divorced his wife to get some younger strange and everyone realized "Oh he's just a media douchebag like the rest of them."

But the real killer was America's Got Talent. I got a couple of free trial subscriptions to SiriusXM with a couple of purchases. I listened to Stern, of course.

And what I heard was him endlessly rehashing his time on America's Got Talent, which I did not watch and would not watch, for hours and hours and hours. Just when I would think "He can't possibly talk about this single one hour episode of crap reality TV any more this week," he would once again launch into "behind the scenes" revelations about the show -- all of which were fake revelations, because at this point he was the ultimate Hollywood Kiss-Ass and had nothing but praise for celebrities.

I stopped listening after a day or two, even though my trial was for two weeks or so.

The next time I got a free trial subscription -- he was yapping endlessly about America's Got Talent again.

And that was the last time I ever listened to him.

His "mainstream media success" (on a crappy rip-off reality tv show) led him to just becoming the absolute worse kind of shill for Hollywood and the left. The ugly nerdy pervert kid was allowed in the cool kid's club -- sort of, he was allowed to skulk at the periphery -- and made pleasing them his only mission.

Maybe, insofar as the "woke shift" cost audience. Did it? No clue. If so, then sure, it's a "factor" - but not the primary one.

The primary factor is much more likely "he wants too much money compared to what he brings in." That could be downstream from his creepy wokism.

Not sure but I think it's something absurd like $20 per month (or more), and on top of that, you don't even get stern for that. I think you have to pay for stern's show specifically over and above the monthly charge.

51 "ThatParkPlace reports that Sirius' real offer is a much smaller deal to retain the rights to Stern's archives of old shows, while no longer paying him for his new, unfunny crap."

This is almost certainly bullshit. Any deal of the size he reportedly got from Sirius would have included rights to this old catalog (to the extent that Stern himself had those rights).

Sirius didn't pay this creepy fart-sucking mutant $500M just for his current cringey dog-vomit show.

I truly hope Stern is found dead one day after a really embarrassing death, like he was trying shove bunny shit droppings up his ass and they got stuck and his colon exploded. He's a creep and cocksucker and the world would be better off without him.

80 That's why he's jealous of Trump. Trump is out there showing what it's like to be truly free. All the shit Stern used to claim he was.

And he's exactly none of it. He's in a speech prison and meanwhile Trump says AND does what the fuck he wants.

Must murder poor phony faggot Stern inside to see what a free (and rich and successful) man actually looks like.

83 I've never really cared for him, either.

As I said somewhere the other day, I doubt if I've heard more than 10 cumulative minutes of his show in all the decades it's been on the air.

Imagine if he had bred with one of the harridans on The View... now there's a dystopian nightmare.

93 His schtick depended on shocking his audience. But once his audience got used to his language and crudity, it's not shocking anymore. I don't think he was really 'left' or 'right', he was too big a narcissist for that. He's gone 'left' recently only because he did not want to get cancelled. That 100 million dollars a year in salary is a mighty big lever.

95 I think the insane amount of money Stern (reportedly) made from Sirius is a function similar to the "captive" cable audience that unwillingly (and unknowingly) pays big bucks for ESPN.

The whole thing is a racket and almost certainly illegal. Big bucks for ESPN was built into your cable bill, whether you wanted ESPN or not. I assume Sirius had a similar scam with Stern.

Oh, and btw, you can negotiate your Sirius bill down to almost nothing, if you threaten to quit. I have Sirius in my car, but I pay almost nothing a month.

140 Stern's program has fluctuated from 20 million daily to just 125,000 of late.
++++
Streaming-only, the base SiriusXM cost is $8.99 and the "all-in" price for everything (including sports, news, talk shows (including Stern), etc.) is $11.99. Satellite is more, but so are operating costs.

It's $3 more to get access to Stern. Let's assume that every single one of his average daily listeners has that add-on for him and him alone, and without him they will drop it. They don't care about sports or whatever. Just Stern. Let's continue being generous and assume that another half of his audience doesn't listen daily.

So at 250k listeners, that comes out to an upcharge total of just $750k per month, or $9 million per year.

If we assume that all of those listeners - the 125k and the other hypothetical 125k - have the service *only* for Stern and so he gets credit for the whole $11.99, that comes out to just shy of $36 million per year.

You can't pay $100 million per year for an entertainer who brings in - at best and very generously - half that.

From what I've seen and heard over the years, Stern has basically let himself be led around by his dick by his lefty wife and Robin Quivers & his rich, lefty, daughters turned him woke over the years.

Uncertain future? Yeah, no. His future is loaded with wealth and comfort. Guaranteed. Don't stress for the welfare of that guy in particular.

Oh, at SiriusXM? Maybe he takes a cut. If he was smart, he'd entertain his natural state of isolationism and simply retire.

That's nearly as stupid as some "environmentalist" I once heard going off about the "fragile Lunar ecology".

Yeah, so fragile that it's nonexistent.

Fuckwit..

P.S. Every place that was colonized by Europeans now has more civil rights and a higher income that it did before colonialism. No exceptions. Now, some are better than others (in general, being colonized by the Brits was a lot better than being colonized by the French, and a HELLUVA lot better than being colonized by the Belgians), but still... it wound up being a net win.

And as far as "white people"...

I have a friend from Indonesia. Apparently there's a saying there, something like "400 years of the Dutch was better than 4 years of the Japanese".

191 Okay, car-side of things.
Base plan, including streaming (an upcharge, but required if you want add-ons) is $18.99/month.
The everything plan, which includes Stern, is $23.99, a $5 upcharge.

So with the same assumptions as last time (comment 140) except that this time, 100% of the listeners (real and assumed) are traditional satellite radio:
If Stern gets credit for 100% of the upcharge because everyone who subscribes to it will drop it if he goes, then his 250k hypothetical listeners bring in $15 million per year.

If Stern gets credit for the whole subscription because those customers all cancel if he goes, then his 250k hypothetical listeners bring in $72 million per year.

There is no way SiriusXM can be making money by paying Stern $100 million a year. Not with where his numbers are, even if we make some pretty wild assumptions.

150 people for 5.5 years at a total cost of $65 million. Let's assume it's back-dated for all of 2025 and so represents six full years of 2025-2030, inclusive.

That's $10.83 million per year, or $72,222.22 per bed per year to "serve trans and gender-noncoforming people."

Gothamist, yesterday.

Another tax-shielded non-profit, of course, our civil society.

"The city is fully funding the facility in Long Island City, which will cost $65 million to operate through 2030."

BTW, if you want just the music out of SXM, just take the "free trial", then call to cancel, tell them you want just music, they'll give you a short set of channels ( which includes all the music) for... I think it's 85 bucks a year instead of $250 or whatever. "Special 1 year deal". When the year is up, call and tell them that all you want is music and that it's too expensive. Same "1 year" deal. Been doing this for 4 years. Last renewal, I didn't even talk to human, some AI subroutine gave me the same "1 year" deal.
