Sirius XM Nears End of Deal with Howard Stern

Chicago Tribune: A little more than two months remain on Howard Stern’s contract with Sirius XM, and even the shock jock’s satellite-radio bosses exhibit no sense that they know whether their biggest star is apt to renew, retire, launch his own subscription service or do something else altogether. Sirius XM CEO James Meyer said the company would “certainly hope” that Stern, 61, stays on board. The still-edgy show “has never been bigger or better,” said Meyer.
