On Aug. 5, rumors began swirling that 'The Howard Stern Show' was getting canceled after more than two decades on air

All of those rumors come from a story published by The U.S. Sun which said that the satellite radio and streaming provider would not re-up Stern when his contract runs out at the end of the year. Instead, according to the report, SiriusXM would look to make a deal with Stern for his catalogue.

Howard Stern is very much still on the air. A day after a report claimed that his long-running The Howard Stern Show would be cancelled when his contract with SiriusXM ends later this year, he popped up to do an unscheduled show when a repeat would have aired.
