Howard Stern's long-running radio show has seen its audience fall from an estimated 20 million daily listeners at its peak to fewer than 150,000 today. The decline comes as his $500 million (£365m) SiriusXM contract approaches expiry at the end of 2025, raising questions over whether the broadcaster will continue its partnership with the veteran presenter.
Once regarded as the 'King of All Media', Stern built a career on provocative humour and headline-grabbing interviews. His switch from terrestrial radio to satellite in 2006 was seen as transformative, bringing millions of subscribers to SiriusXM. Nearly two decades later, the scale of the audience drop has cast doubt on both his relevance and the future of his show.
