Howard Stern says he’s in talks with SiriusXM about extending his deal and hinted he may seek “ownership” if he stays. In an interview with Andy Cohen, he praised the company he helped grow but declined to detail negotiations over his show archive, which SiriusXM considers important. Rumors have questioned a renewal amid his price tag and lighter schedule; CEO Jennifer Witz said they expect to “get to the right place.” Stern, 71, pushed back on “too woke” chatter and reflected on evolving his show since its taboo-breaking early years. His contract expires at the end of 2025.
