Howard Stern Re-Signs for another 5 years with Sirius

Radio hosts don't retire. I'm not surprised that he re-signed. Bob Grant did radio until he couldn't do it anymore. Barry Farber is still hosting an internet radio show, and he's 85.

I'm kind of surprised Howard wasn't a drama queen about renewing as he had been in the past. I guess we all mellow with age.

From what I read, there weren't really any issues other than money. Hard for a multi-millionaire to whine about not getting paid enough. Although I guess he's done it before.

Yeah but he's paid his dues. Too far gone for commercial radio at this point, not that I ever expected him to come back. If SiriusXM lost Stern, how many thousands of subscribers would they lose?

I cannot imagine he got nearly as much as the deal that brought him to Satellite radio, but I'm sure it's still a very handsome sum.

He's not at all my cup of tea, but I guess this is good for his fans.
