In August 2025, a new report emerged claiming that «The Howard Stern Show» will be canceled after nearly two decades. Host Howard Stern, who hosted the show on SiriusXM, has a multi-million dollar contract that is set to expire later this year. So is it true that they are planning to cancel Howard’s show?
The rumors surfaced in the wake of the shocking cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which CBS (Paramount Global) announced as a «financial decision». The decision was considered controversial because the network had just signed a global agreement with Donald Trump.
Below are updates on the status of «The Howard Stern Show».
Stern’s salary at SiriusXM ranges from 80 to 100 million dollars per year, according to various sources. His five-year contract extension with the company is worth around 500 million dollars in total.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Stern’s net worth currently stands at 650 million dollars.
Stern’s contract with SiriusXM is set to expire at the end of 2025. He signed a five-year contract extension with the radio broadcasting company in December 2020.
According to The U.S. Sun, it is expected that «The Howard Stern Show» will be canceled. The publication reported on August 5, 2025, that SiriusXM «plans to make [Stern] an offer, [and] they do not intend for him to accept it».
«Sirius and Stern will never agree on the money he will want», - said a source to the publication, adding that the radio show «is no longer worth the investment».
The source also claimed that there is «no way» SiriusXM «can continue to pay [Stern's salary]», - even pointing to the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show.
«After what happened with Stephen Colbert, it seems they just can’t afford to keep him on anymore», - the source added.
Another source told the publication that the cancellation of Stern’s show «has everything to do with the political climate», - as the host is a critic of the Republican president.
Neither Stern nor anyone from SiriusXM has yet commented on the new report
