(Newser) – After weeks of tense contract negotiations, Howard Stern has inked a deal to stay on Sirius/XM for another five years. Earlier this week, Stern ranted against the Sirius CFO for hinting that the shock jock may need to take a pay cut, PopEater reports, but he apologized on-air yesterday. There was also a rumor he would be leaving to sign a $600 million deal with Apple, but Stern announced on his show today that he will stay on satellite radio, where he's been for the past five years.

Some of you are hilarious with your shots against Stern. Since you don't listen to him and probably never have, yet still bash him (makes you snobs), are you at all fans of Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duvall, Quentin Tarentino, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Jaime Foxx, Ron Howard, William Shatner, Robert Downey Jr, AC/DC, Alec Baldwin, Schwarzenegger, Donald Trump, etc...etc...etc...list goes on and on of talent that has appeared on his show while on Sirius.....so if you like any of these people then you're hypocrites. People like him because they've taken the time to listen and all of these people and many, many more admitted to being huge fans and none of these people would go on his show if they thought he was scum like some of you think. McCartney gave Howard a guitar and said he listens all the time. Hoffman said he's all he listens to in LA. Billy Joel became one of his best friends. Howard's not what you all make him out to be.

Oh Good, now I can finally sleep at night. I was really worried that such as deserving man would not be making $100 million dollars a year for the next five years.

Good if he can make the money why not... APPLE??? He would not fit there, they way they are now, they try to block all types of porn and offensive content from their devices. watched his movie for the first time, pretty interesting story.
