Howard Stern’s New SiriusXM Contract Relied on Robin Quivers’ Participation: ‘She’s Untouchable
Howard Stern may be the brand, the voice, the headline — but insiders tell Straight Shuter that the show’s new three-year contract with SiriusXM only happened because Robin Quivers said yes.
“If Robin wasn’t in, Howard was out,” one source tells Straight Shuter. “She decided whether the show lived or died.”
In other words, without Quivers, there would be no Stern and no $450 million to $500 million deal.
“Executives know the truth — Robin is the glue,” another insider adds. “Howard trusts her more than anyone.”
SiriusXM knew it too. They didn’t just re-sign the 72-year-old shock jock — with Quivers, 73, they bought stability and chemistry.
The new deal gives Stern a lighter, more flexible schedule, but was actually structured around Quivers’ demands. “She’s earned that power,” a longtime staffer confirms. “Decades in, she’s untouchable.”
