Howard Stern'scontract with SiriusXM ends at the end of 2020 and CEO Jim Meyer says he's working hard to keep the company's most popular host and self-proclaimed "King of All Media" with the company, reports Deadline Hollywood. Renewal talks started late last year and are ongoing. Stern curently hosts "The Howard Stern Show" and the dedicated SiriusXM channel "Howard 100."

"The relationship between Howard and myself has been great and is great right now... I trust Howard and Howard trusts me," Meyer said at the CSFB media conference on Wednesday.

Note these are renewal talks as of this posting.

"Howard's agent and I communicate every week back and forth and I had hoped to be able to sit and do this process in person and get going. I think it is probably going to take too long to wait for a good window for that, that so I don't see any reason why we won't pick up the pace on those discussions.

The reality is Diamond Jim; Howard doesn't want to talk with you about money. That's what his agent is for.

"I want Howard to work at Sirius XM for as long as Howard wants to work," added Meyer."

This isn't about you Diamond Jim.

"I think the issue in the renewal with Howard is what does Howard want to do going forward now that he's seen, you know, what is going on in podcasting. He is a radio guy, you know, he has told me that, he's a morning guy. He's told me many times he's a morning guy. So we'll work our way through that and hopefully we'll have good news when we get through that."

This quote looks like it came from our President.

Howard isn't stupid. His agent will negotiate a deal that includes a lot more money, probably more than is represented by the 20% of the audience SXM would lose if Stern left, plus less hours (if that's possible) than Howard works now. Oh, and if Stern wants to Podcast, it won't include SXM...

That's a funny post. I share your opinions of 'Diamond Jim." He knows next to nothing about the company he runs.

Given what's been going on in the news lately, I seriously doubt SXM would welcome those two back. Especially considering their past racial social media comments. Any station or provider would be paying big money for a PR nightmare.
