Rumor: Howard Stern to xxxleavexxx Stay At SXM

How many shows does he do a week now? 3-4? With any new “deal” I’m sure the number of shows will dwindle down further and the number of off weeks will increase. This will likely be his last contract. I can see it being a much shorter one as well.

I wonder what he makes per show right now if we were to calculate the number of actual shows he does per year.
 
This entire affair shows how on-line publications like "The Sun" have to write dubious articles. I'm sure writers are under increasing pressure to produce stories that will get clicks, which is how they sell ads.

A writer at The Sun, in the middle of mid-August doldrums, realized Stern's contract will end in December. That's a boring story on its own. So he had to expand it through unnamed "inside sources." Probably he found a disgruntled ex-employee. And that's what got the snowball rolling down the hill.

Other publications didn't want to appear flat-footed. So they had to find their own "sources." Often one publication quoted another, all based on dubious intelligence.

All this week, Howard and Robin have been laughing at how totally wrong, even stupid, this media coverage has been. Stern said, "If they only talked to me, I'd have set them straight." But then he joked that if they tried to contact him, he probably wouldn't have responded anyway.

To put it in context, a lot of these writers are free-lance. They get paid per story. and also on the number of clicks the story generates. So its not only the publication, but the writer who is motivated to create these kinds of stories. People who have professional Facebook pages know what I'm talking about.

I’d bet Stuttering John was the leak.
