Hey now! Howard Stern re-ups for 5 more years with Sirius XM

After hinting on-air for several months that he may retire, Howard Stern announced this morning on his Sirius XM Satellite Radio show that he has re-signed for five more years.

“On my first day in satellite radio Sirius had approximately 600,000 subscribers," Stern said on-air. "Today, the two companies have 20 million; and, in my view, we have just scratched the surface of how many people will get on board,” Stern said, adding that he was excited that Sirius XM will now have better access on smartphones and other mobile devices.

94 WYSP brought Stern's show to Philadelphia listeners in August 1986 and he was heard on the station until leaving CBS Radio to launch Sirius in January 2006.

Howard jumped the shark the day he left commercial radio.

The Tonner had Sirius for a while. Stern was unentertaining. Loved it back in the day when they used to rip on OJ and do skits but those days are long gone. The show is played.

Who the F is the Tonner, are you referring to yourself in the third person, what an idiot.

Seriously people, the show on regular radio is not entertaining. How can any show maintain people's attention with commercials every 15 minutes. It is unlistenable. Since the move to Sirius, his show has gotten much better and is way more entertaining. It is by far the most satisfying $14 I spend every month.

quitethetenses - Get a grip. That's The Tonner's thing. Also, you are the last person to call anyone an idiot when you can't even form proper sentences.

Despite years of right wing Republicans trying to silence Howard Stern, he is still going strong. Listening to Stern stick it to the Religious Right, conservatives, and Tea Party losers for years has been a blast.
