Pioneering broadcaster Howard Stern<\/a> may leave SiriusXM after almost 20 years, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

Stern first began broadcasting for the online radio station in 2006, and his contract is estimated to be worth up to $100 million a year. His current deal is reportedly due to expire later this year.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail<\/a>, Stern is considering his options with a source telling the publication, \u201cHe may do a 1-2 year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. He\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0want to pull the plug on his employees like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another source told the same outlet that Stern<\/a> is evaluating whether to leave the station, and may leave broadcasting behind, \u201cHe is off in the summer but this year has been saying \u2018maybe I should retire’\u201d.<\/p>\n

While Stern was once the star of Sirius XM, with the station built around his show, they partnered with Alex Cooper\u2019s Call Me Daddy podcast on a three-year deal worth $125 million in 2024. Notably, Cooper\u2019s podcast is still available on other platforms, highlighting the change in consuming media by listeners.<\/p>\n

The source told the Daily Mail that Stern was also unhappy with how SiriusXM is \u201cleaning heavily\u201d on fellow host Andy Cohen, who curates two channels on the station.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Stern previously claimed he was prepared to quit radio, stating to co-host Robin Quivers, \u201cWhen I get out of radio. I\u2019m getting out man. I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019m almost out the door. I\u2019m getting out anyway because I realise that radio is affecting my health. When I\u2019m home on the weekends I\u2019m fine. And then when I come here all kinds of shit happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite saying \u201cI\u2019m done\u201d and \u201ctwo years and I\u2019m out of here,\u201d Stern later denied having any plans to retire and reminded listeners not to take his words seriously<\/a> at all times. <\/p>\n

Stern is yet to comment on reports that he may leave SiriusXM once his contracts expires.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
