The notorious shock jock’s move to satellite radio a decade ago almost single-handedly saved the fledgling industry, turning SiriusXM Radio into a media juggernaut, while padding the king’s coffers with a mammoth, eight-figure contract.
Stern’s on-air antics found a natural home on satellite, where he could flout federal decency laws and advertisers, and the star’s staying power has bolstered the company in the increasingly crowded market of music streaming services and Internet radio. The controversial host has also proved his mainstream marketability, using his four-year run as a judge on NBC reality series “America’s Got Talent” to expand his core audience of radio diehards.
Born in Queens, N.Y., Stern rose to prominence through the nationally syndicated “The Howard Stern Show,” which made him one of the country’s most iconic and controversial radio personalities during its two-decade run. He moved to SiriusXM in 2006 and instantly bolstered the struggling satellite radio company. From 2012 to 2015 he was a judge on the NBC reality series “America’s Got Talent.” He’s written two New York Times best-sellers, including 1993’s “Private Parts,” which was turned into a feature film.
