Siriusxm will probably negotiate a deal to maintain the extensive audio library of Stern, but the daily show seems to end. “Under no circumstances can you pay for his salary,” said another source to the outlet.
Apart from financial considerations, the Sun reports that Sterns can also be a factor of persons pronounced political views, in particular his criticism of Donald Trump and top -class interviews such as Vice President Kamala Harris. “If Sirius Stern didn't make a good offer, I would have nothing to do with his reviews,” said the insider. “It is more likely that everything has to do with the political climate.”

The 71-year-old star has been a dominant voice on the American radio since his early days and then “K-Rock” WXRK, where “The Howard Stern Show” became a national phenomenon with widespread syndication. After moving to Sirius in 2006, he helped advance the company's subscription growth and established himself as a pioneer for uncensored satellite transmission.
Although Stern originally referred to a “shock jock”, he developed into one of the most respected celebrity interviewers in the media. From open conversations with Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen to last-minute drop-drops from stars such as Courteney Cox, Stern's ability to cause unguarded moments became a trademark of his later career.
His influence also extended beyond the radio. He played in 1997 in the autobiographical film “Private Parts”, wrote several bestsellers and worked as a judge for “America's Got Talent” from 2012 to 2015.
Siriusxm did not answer a request to comment on the report.
