Transcribe →Howard Stern Cancelled... Sort of...
Aug 1001:33:52Tap to summarizeThere's only one story on everyones lips this week... Howard Stern and SiriusXM are set to part ways after 20 years of business. Stern was once dubbed The King of Media - the voice of the working man. He was a pioneer of the Shock Jock format, know for hard hitting, harsh rants and takedowns. Sadly these days he is a shade of his former self, and given the satellite radio platforms days are seemingly numbered... it appears the two parties are unable to come to terms.
