Speculation that Howard Stern was fired from SiriusXM and "The Howard Stern Show" canceled have caught fire online as listeners believe the veteran shock jock's decades-long show has come to an end.

In August 2025, a rumor spread that radio host Howard Stern's long-running show was being canceled after many decades on the airwaves. According to gossip site The Sun the show, which aired on SiriusXM for around 20 years, was set to be canceled in late 2025 after the end of Stern's purported $100 million contract.

“The Howard Stern Show” moved to SiriusXM in 2006 and has been a staple of the platform after leaving a 20-year partnership with New York City’s WXRK. Sources do say the door could potentially be open for Stern to sell his catalogue to SiriusXM or return for specials in the event they don’t reach a new deal.
