The Howard Stern Show Contract Bits
-
The Howard Stern Show only has a few episodes left on Sirius XM Radio until his last scheduled episode on December 17th and according to my sources in the mix, they’re still negotiating.
They’ve never gone this long in a negotiation session and one has to worry about the chances of The Howard Stern Show surviving. Or do we?
When Howard Stern went to Sirius, he drew a few million subscribers with him. For Sirius, that was a pretty big move for them. Though in truth, it was a mere shadow of numbers that Howard was getting on terrestrial radio. The odd part of Howard moving to satellite radio was that the comedy schtick that used the annoy and keep me away from the terrestrial broadcasts minimized and he started having solid interviews and sound-byte time with his celebrity friends who come by his studio. To be honest, if you ever get past the early image conceptions we all have of him from his terrestrial radio days, he’s a very forthcoming, honest and smart man and despite his self-proclaimed issues, he bares all when talking about himself and his opinions. A rather refreshing take considering the state of Hollywood and the world of spin-masters these days.
He’s proven to be a very insightful and a smart movie reviewer when he would announce his opinions of movies he’s seen (He likes the action / superhero /sci fi genre) and as you would guess, he sometimes does let loose with his language because he can on satellite, but it isn’t as rampant as one would think it would have been.
