President Trump has reacted to rumors that the Howard Stern show is coming to an end.
Earlier this week, The US Sun reported that Sirius XM and Howard Stern appeared to be headed towards a divorce after his current $500 million contract ends later this year.

“Stern’s contract is up in the fall and while Sirius is planning to make him an offer, they don’t intend for him to take it,” one insider said of the impending end to the shock jock’s latest five-year contract.
“Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want. It’s no longer worth the investment.”
Sources told The US Sun they believe Stern’s political rants against Trump and the current “political climate” as the main reasons Sirius XM will not bring back Stern.
“After you saw what happened with Stephen Colbert, it’s like they just can’t afford to keep him going.”
“If Sirius isn’t going to give Stern a good offer, I don’t think it would have anything to do with his ratings,” the source claimed. “It’s more likely everything to do with the political climate.”
On Wednesday, Trump was asked about the Stern/Sirius XM situation, and he said he knows when Stern started losing his audience.
“Colbert has no talent. Fallon has no talent, Kimmel has no talent. They are next. They are going to be going. You know when Howard Stern went down? When he endorsed Hillary Clinton. He lost his audience. People said give me a break”
