Hey Now!!!!!!!!!!!!.....

Howard Stern re-signs with Sirius.

Howard Stern inks 5-year deal with SiriusXM to continue show, licenses content

Terms not disclosed, but I heard 5 years at 90 million per year.

 

[Jake_Taylor]

I was so hoping this had something to do with The Larry Sanders Show.

I was expecting a Hank Kingsley thread.

 

[Jake_Taylor]

You'll have to forgive Hank. His heart is in the right place, but he keeps his brain in a box at home.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Haven't listened to that show frequently in about five years. I bailed when it was all babble and whining about AGT and his last contract negotiation.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

It's a minor miracle Sirius XM still has two million to rub together, let alone 90.

Haven't listened to that show frequently in about five years. I bailed when it was all babble and whining about AGT and his last contract negotiation.

Same here. Really, I stopped listening after Artie left.

 

[wicked]

Show was never the same without Jackie.

Artie grew on me over time, but still.

Actually, the show was never the same after the divorce.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Two weeks ago he and beth babbled about a cat rescue they started.

The Howard of 1995 would have bullied this Howard off the air.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I thought this was about a Crowded House reunion.

 

[poindexter]

Its pretty bad when the title of the thread is a well worn sound bite used in about half the morning zoos in the country.

He lost me when Jackie left, and he became Hamptons Howie.

 

[MisterCreosote]

That's a lot of money to basically wipe your ass with.

Has Sirius ever gotten a legit return on investment with Stern?

 

[Chef2]

Thing with Sirius is they know they will never make money with Stern considering how much they pay him, but they know they will lose their ass without him.

 

[JackReacher]

Pretty good story on Stern from the WaPo a few days ago before he signed the new contract.

Is Howard Stern going soft or just getting sharper?

When Stern joined Sirius (now SiriusXM) in January 2006 for a $500 million five-year contract, the company had fewer than a million subscribers; just a year later, the company had 6 million subscribers, and Stern earned a hefty stock bonus.

Now, the question is whether Stern will stay put on satellite. His second five-year contract is up at the end of the year, and SiriusXM now has 29 million subscribers.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

When y'all talk about Stern, I imagine I feel how New Yorkers feel when folks down south talk about Finebaum.

 

[SpeedTchr]

People pay for radio? What the ****?
