The Howard Stern Show is an American radio show hosted by

SiriusXM, since 2006. Other prominent staff members include co-host and news anchor Robin Quivers, writer Fred Norris and executive producer Gary Dell'Abate, along with former members Jackie Martling, Billy West, John Melendez, and Artie Lange
.

Stern began his radio career in the mid-1970s and developed his show through morning positions at

for indecent material. In 2004, Stern signed the first of several five-year contracts with Sirius; the first was reportedly worth $500 million.

In addition to radio broadcast, The Howard Stern Show has been filmed since 1994 and broadcast on various networks, including the E! and CBS television channels. It moved to HowardTV, Stern's own on-demand digital cable channel from 2005 to 2013. In 2018, Sirius XM launched a mobile app for subscribers to access video clips of the show.

History

1975–1981: Early development

While at Boston University, Stern worked at WTBU and worked his first professional radio job in 1975.

Stern landed his first professional radio job while at

WTBU, campus radio station, named The King Schmaltz Bagel Hour which was cancelled during its first broadcast for a sketch called "Godzilla Goes to Harlem".[2] After his graduation, Stern landed some cover shifts in December 1976 at WRNW, a progressive rock station in Briarcliff Manor, New York, where he was subsequently hired full-time working middays. He produced more creative commercials by calling the owners of businesses on the air, which he wrote "was mind-blowing to everyone there."[3]

In 1979, Stern responded to an advertisement for a "wild, fun morning guy" at

1979 energy crisis, which put Stern and the station into the national news. Stern also began his "Dial-a-Date" routines at WCCC, and met Fred Norris, the station's overnight disc jockey who provided Stern's show with various comedic impressions of celebrities.[6] Norris would join the show as Stern's writer and producer in 1981.[7]

Stern left WCCC for being denied a raise in salary.

average quarter-hour.[13] It was the final straw for management, which turned WWWW into a more successful country music format on January 18.[12] Stern made a brief, half-hearted attempt to be a country radio DJ but realized it wasn't to his liking. Stern left the station soon after and declined offers to work at CHUM in Toronto, WXRT in Chicago[12] and WPLJ in New York City
.

1981–1985: Washington and WNBC

On March 2, 1981, Stern began his third morning job, this time at

WNBC in March,[22] and began to berate management and other DJs on the air.[23] Quivers, who left the show early on June 17,[9] worked at WCBM in Baltimore until rejoining with Stern on October 18, 1982.[24][25] Stern presented a farewell show two weeks later on competing station WAVA-FM.[9] He had more than tripled the station's ratings during his stay.[26]

Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling served as the show's head writer from 1983 to 2001.

Stern began his WNBC program in September 1982, working from 4–8 pm.

Al Rosenberg, a comedian and writer at WNBC who could no longer commute from Washington, D.C.[13] Also hired was Gary Dell'Abate of the station's traffic department, who started as the show's assistant in September 1984 and went on to become executive producer.[9] Stern continued to break out of the station's strict format. He had a naked woman on the show for the first time and attempted to make another reach orgasm through her radio speaker, both of which were reenacted in his film Private Parts
(1997).

The Arbitron ratings released in 1984 showed an increase in listeners to Stern's show. Having moved shifts to 3–7 pm, he attracted audience shares of 3.8%, 4.2%, and 4.6% that year.

Bestiality Dial-a-Date" segment and ordered his firing.[28] Later, NBC chairman Grant Tinker admitted that it was his decision, after corporate communications director Bob Rukeyser alerted him about the risqué material on Stern's show.[34][35]

1985–1994: WXRK and start of syndication

Stern returned to the New York airwaves on rock station WXRK, where he began his 20-year residency at the station in afternoons from 2–6 pm on November 18, 1985.[36] Following his move to mornings from 6 am on February 18, 1986,[37] Stern entered national syndication on August 18, 1986, when WYSP in Philadelphia first simulcast the program.[36] In the 18-plus male demographic, WYSP rose from eleventh to second place in three months.[38] Stern began a rivalry with the number one host John DeBella of WMMR, and was determined to beat him in the ratings. He achieved his goal in April 1990, and held a celebratory "funeral" for DeBella on May 10 in Rittenhouse Square which aired live.[39] By early 1987, Stern had almost completely stopped playing music during the show and was reaching almost 800,000 listeners each week in the New York area.[40] Between September 1986 and February 1987, Stern hosted a three-hour Saturday morning program with a live audience which was syndicated to 45 markets across the country by DIR Broadcasting.[40] The show added two new staff in 1988—impressionist Billy West and intern "Stuttering John" Melendez, who would achieve notoriety by asking celebrities awkward questions on the red carpet and press conferences. That year, Stern returned to the Washington, D.C., market after a six-year absence when he was syndicated on WJFK, his third affiliate.[41]

In July 1991, the show began to air on

KYW-AM in the morning ratings which ended the station's 14-year run at number one.[50] Following his 1992 debut on WNCX in Cleveland, Stern took the station from thirteenth in mornings to first place in under two years.[51] On June 10, 1994, during the city's funeral broadcast William Alford, an engineer of competing station WMMS, cut a wire used for the show's satellite feed which stopped the broadcast temporarily.[52] Alford was later sentenced to ten days in jail and a $1,000 fine.[53]

In June 1994, robotic cameras were installed in the WXRK studio to film the radio show for a condensed half-hour program on E!.

video-on-demand service, on November 18, 2005.[56] The service was relaunched as Howard TV on March 16, 2006.[57]

On December 7, 1994, Stern made national news by preventing a man from committing suicide who was to jump off the

Port Authority Police, whose tour commander was listening to the show, took Bonilla into custody.[59] Bonilla was charged with cocaine possession, reckless endangerment and was taken to the hospital. Senator Al D'Amato and Ed Koch, former-Mayor of New York City, called in to congratulate Stern.[60]

1995–1999: Selena, Canada, and Columbine controversies

On April 3, 1995, three days after the shooting of singer

Justice of the Peace Eloy Cano of Harlingen, Texas, issued an arrest warrant on Stern for disorderly conduct,[65] which remained in place for a year after the incident.[66]

The Howard Stern Show was syndicated to 26 stations nationwide by the end of 1995,[67] and was the subject of two Billboard awards for Network/Syndicated Program of the Year in the modern rock and mainstream rock categories in 1996.[68] In February 1996, Stern announced the Howard Stern Radio Network, an agreement that let him form a network consisting of radio personalities that he approved. Stations would be able to choose shows from a 24-hour menu or carry the network's programming around the clock.[69] In November, the show relocated to a new studio in New York City, four times the size of its former location that housed space for bands to perform. Live performances increased then on, including those by Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, Cheap Trick and White Zombie, in the first four months.[70] By the end of 1996, the show aired on 34 stations.[71]

The show aired on Canadian airwaves for the first time on September 2, 1997, to CHOM in Montreal and CILQ in Toronto.[72] Stern's comments about French people and their language caused a rift with some listeners. "There is something about the language that turns you into a pussy-assed jack off. Anybody who speaks French is a scum bag. It turns you into a coward. Just like in World War II, they would not stick up for us. Screw your culture and we're invading you all."[73] Ratings for the two stations increased nonetheless by 62% and 47% respectively.[74] Following listener complaints and censorship enforced by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the show was cancelled in Montreal in 1998 and in Toronto in 2001.[75]

A day after the Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, Colorado, on April 20, 1999, Stern's comments regarding the incident drew criticism from some listeners. "There were some really good looking girls running out with their hands over their heads ... Did [the suspects] try to have sex with any of the good looking girls? ... At least if you are going to kill yourself and kill all the kids, why wouldn't you have some sex? ... If I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with sex."[76] Hundreds complained to KXPK, the show's affiliate in Denver.[77] Stern argued his comments were taken out of context, and accused critics of being overly sensitive. "I dared to ask if kids had sex. So what? That's how I think. I had zero intent to make fun of the situation. The point in making that comment was an attempt to try to understand a motive. We didn't know anything about motives [the morning after] and were trying to consider all possibilities."[77][78]

In May 1999, Stern made headlines after former child star Dana Plato committed suicide one day after visiting the show. Plato had been living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, surrounded by rumors of her sexuality and drug abuse, which became the biggest topic of the interview. After telling Stern she had been sober for over a decade and denying rumors about her lesbian relationship, some callers accused her of lying. At some point Stern suggested that Plato do a urinalysis to prove them wrong, while Plato agreed to give a hair sample for analysis.[79] Plato was crying several times, mostly while offering her gratitude to callers who believed everything she had said. Stern also asked her if she had ever considered suicide to which she replied, "Hell no. I've got a beautiful boy. I'm OK in my skin. I'm OK with who I am." Plato died of a drug overdose the next day.[80]

2000–2005: Staff changes and terrestrial radio departure

Comedian and actor Artie Lange replaced Jackie Martling in 2001.

In December 2000, Stern renewed his contract with Infinity Broadcasting to continue the radio show for five years.[81] Industry analysts questioned Stern's relevance as the show's ratings had declined since 1998, including a 20 per cent drop in listeners in Los Angeles.[82] Broadcasting & Cable reasoned the decline to Stern's separation from his wife in late 1999 which made him "considerably less intriguing".[83]

In March 2001, Stern announced the departure of Martling, who was unable to reach an agreement over a new contract with WXRK. A "Win Jackie's Money" contest began where comedians auditioned for Martling's spot by sitting in on shows. Craig Gass, Doug Stanhope, Richard Jeni, Jim Florentine, A.J. Benza, and Ron Zimmerman were among the participants. In October, comedian and actor Artie Lange joined the show full-time.[84]

Stern aired live during the

staff until around 12:15 pm. The live reporting was one of the first for those listening across the country, with callers sharing their own experiences. In September 2006, a 90-minute special featuring the staff and their recollections of the day aired on Howard TV, titled 9.11.01: A Retrospective.[85]

In September 2003, the FCC declared the show a "bona fide news interview program", making it exempt from equal-time requirements placed for political candidates.[86]

On February 27, 2004, John Melendez left the show to become the announcer on

Sal Governale
, the runner-up with 24%, was also hired in September.

On February 26, 2004, Stern was cancelled on six stations owned by

Clear Channel Communications after a caller used the word "nigger" when asking Rick Salomon if he ever had sex with a black person the day before.[87] Following the issue of a $495,000 fine to Clear Channel by the FCC, which cited sexual discussions on a show from 2003, Stern was removed permanently on the six stations.[88] Stern returned to four of the six markets that he was suspended from, including five new ones, on Infinity-owned stations on July 19.[89]

On October 6, 2004, Stern announced his five-year contract with Sirius Satellite Radio, a subscription-based satellite radio service, free from the FCC's regulations. A contributing factor in the decision was the aftermath of the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy which began the tightening of censorship and regulation in broadcasting. The deal, worth approximately $100 million a year for all costs, included a bonus stock payment of $83 million for Stern in January 2007 for surpassing subscriber goals set in 2004.[90][91] Promotion of Sirius met with controversy as Stern mentioned the service on air, instructing listeners in purchasing receivers and subscriptions. In one incident, Farid Suleman of Citadel Broadcasting billed Stern $200,000 for the continual advertising mentions.[92] On November 8, 2005, Stern was suspended for one day for excessive promotion of the service;[93] after moving to Sirius, Stern called the suspension a ploy by CBS to bolster its $500 million lawsuit against Stern in early 2006. CBS ultimately received 0.004% of the money it had sought. Sirius paid $2 million to CBS, and CBS relinquished full ownership of Stern's 20-year archive of broadcast content to Sirius.[94]

Stern hosted his final show on terrestrial radio on December 16, 2005.

The Adam Carolla Show on numerous West Coast affiliates, and the still airing Rover's Morning Glory in mostly Midwestern markets.[103]

2006–present: SiriusXM Radio

A studio constructed at Sirius for the show in 2005.

The Howard Stern Show made its debut broadcast on Sirius on January 9, 2006. The show began with

Also sprach Zarathustra with added flatulence sound effects. George Takei then introduced himself as the show's new announcer.[104] 180,000 Sirius radios were activated a day before.[105]
Stern read out the list of revelations for the show's "Revelations Game", where staff told an unknown secret about themselves.

In May 2006, Stern claimed he had received offers from three major companies to return to terrestrial radio. Although he would never return, Stern did mention that it would be "cool to go back and kick their asses." Although the names of the companies were never revealed, media organizations announced that Stern was considering a return. To clear up the rumors, the Associated Press were called on-air on May 10. "The story is I wouldn't do terrestrial radio for any reason", said Stern.[106] Rumors once again arose in September 2006 that Stern would be returning, and were once again denied by Stern and Sirius. Sirius representative Patrick Reilly told United Press International that there were never "any discussions of Howard Stern in any way, shape, or form being anything but exclusive to Sirius. Published reports suggesting otherwise are wrong."[107]

Stern announced on June 7, 2006, that the lawsuit settlement with

terabytes of data.[citation needed
]

After a suicide attempt in January 2010, Lange left the show.[110]

On December 9, 2010, Stern announced the signing of a new five-year contract with Sirius XM which ended in December 2015.[111] In September 2013, Howard TV's contract was not renewed and the service ended.[112]

On December 15, 2015, Stern announced he signed a new deal with SiriusXM to continue his radio show until December 2020. The agreement includes a 12-year deal giving SiriusXM the rights to his radio and video archives for an upcoming streaming video app tentatively called Howard 360.[113]

In 2015 and 2016,

Madonna, Stern said of his earlier years in radio, "I used to say bad things about everybody ... I was an angry young man." Former staff member Jackie Martling commented, "Howard has become a lot of the things that he always told people not to become", while John Melendez said, "There's nothing wrong with change, but the old Howard would probably goof on the new Howard now."[115] The Wall Street Journal attributed Stern's softening image to his chief operating officer, Marci Turk.[116]

In October 2019, the show aired live from Los Angeles to commemorate the opening of a new SiriusXM studio. This marked the show's first broadcasts outside New York City since 2004.[117]

In June 2020, Stern faced criticism for a 1993 sketch from his New Year's Rotten Eve Pageant special in which Stern parodied

N-word and other racial slurs. Addressing the renewed controversy, Stern stated: "The shit I did was fucking crazy ... I'll be the first to admit. I won't go back and watch those old shows; it's like, who is that guy. But that was my shtick, that's what I did and I own it."[118] Quivers and Stern both stated that both he and the show have "evolved" over the years.[119]

In the summer of 2021, Stern spoke out strongly against Americans who refused to receive the

SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and called for mandatory vaccinations, saying "When are we gonna stop putting up with the idiots in this country and just say it's mandatory to get vaccinated? Fuck 'em. Fuck their freedom".[120] Stern also called for the firing of professional athletes who are misleading about their vaccination status,[121] and mocked on his radio show other talk show hosts who spoke out against the vaccine and subsequently died from COVID-19.[122]

In May 2023, the show aired from Miami to commemorate the opening of another new SiriusXM studio. This was the first time in 3 years the show broadcast from a studio since the COVID-19 pandemic began.[123]

FCC fines

From 1990 to 2004, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined owners of radio stations that carried The Howard Stern Show a total of $2.5 million for indecent programming.[124]

Show staff

In addition to their regular behind-the-scenes responsibilities, some show staff regularly appear on-air with Stern for comedy bits, conversations with Stern and Quivers, and a variety other content.
