The Sun (the U.S version) is reporting that SiriusXM is ending The Howard Stern show. More precisely, the satellite radio service is not willing to offer the large amount of money that Howard Stern will want to continue doing his show. His number of listeners has plummeted to the point where it no longer makes financial sense to keep paying him a reported $100 million a year. It’s not surprising given Stern’s stated hatred of MAGA voters and using his show to push his politics. Twitchy favorite MAZE highlights one of the cringiest moments on Stern’s show, where he brought on a catatonic Joe Biden. Stern then used the ‘interview’ to regurgitate a series of media lies and lies told by Biden as well.
Here’s more background. (READ)
May, 2024. Howard Stern conducts one of the most shameful and cringiest interviews in the history of American media.
As a barely functioning Biden sat there listening, Stern spent an hour spewing pure sycophantic propaganda. He recited all the fake stories that Biden has told throughout the years. How Joe met Jill. Biden’s civil rights activism (which Biden has previously admitted never happened). Amtrak Joe. Stern went through his notes and hit all of the fiction.
Stern reserved ten minutes at the end to reciting all the hoaxes about Trump. Fine people hoax. Suckers and losers. He hit all of them.
It is one of the most pathetic interviews in history, followed closely by his interview with Kamala a couple months later.
Cringe incoming! (WATCH)

Well, that explains the ratings dive.
Commenters say Stern flipped from being against ‘the system’ to being its biggest proponent.
He is just disgusting and such a weak human. Started out strong rebelling against the system and then bent right over like so many others. Good riddance Ichabod Crane.

He became what he used to make fun of.

He’s been irrelevant for years. But that’s what happens to a shock jock, in the end they run out of shock.

A left-leaning talk show host sucking up to powerful Democrats and being a mouthpiece for their party and the behemoth federal government is fully expected, not shocking.
One poster wonders why many who watched the ‘interview’ were unable to see Biden’s obviously declining state.
How is it that only some people see how terrible this monologue was and some people thought it was great?! Why can I see how out of it Biden was but my coworker thought there was nothing wrong with him?!

Cognitive dissonance

Because in their head the narrative is already written . Listening to the interview they fill in whatever details suit the narrative.

Not sure. So many people see Joe Biden as a great man even though there is zero evidence from his personal or professional life to support that.

Thankfully, it later became clear enough that the Democrat Party had to dump him for Kamala Harris.
Posters say if Stern leaves the media, it will continue a welcome trend.
Colbert gone…now Howard Stern is being released by Sirius XM. People are tuning out. The fog around the world is lifting and it’s glorious.

Been waiting for this day for a long time.

So far, this remains speculation based on The Sun’s reporting. As of this writing, neither SiriusXM nor Howard Stern has made official statements. But the math doesn’t lie. Stern’s listeners have precipitously dropped from tens of millions to hundreds of thousands. It makes no financial sense to keep paying him $100 million a year for a show listeners are abandoning in droves.
