(NewsNation) — Howard Stern is staying at the place he’s called home for nearly 20 years.
The longtime radio host has renewed his contract with SiriusXM, according to the satellite radio company, keeping “The Howard Stern Show” on air through 2028.
“I’m happy to announce that I’ve figured out a way to have it all: more free time and continuing to be on the radio. So, yes, we’re coming back for three years,” Stern told co-host Robin Quivers. “Thanks to the good folks here at SiriusXM, I was able to create a more flexible schedule … So, we’ll be back!”
Rumors circulated over the summer that the show would be canceled after two decades, with sources telling The Sun in August that SiriusXM would offer a contract Stern wasn’t expected to take.
It’s unclear how much he’ll earn under the new contract, which is shorter than his previous renewals.
