Howard Stern returns to SiriusXM radio show after trolling listeners

NEW YORK (AP) — Radio host Howard Stern has returned to SiriusXM. The 71-year-old tapped Andy Cohen to pretend Monday to be a fill-in host before taking over his show. In joining the company in 2006, Stern became one of the highest-paid personalities in broadcasting and gave a massive boost to the nascent satellite radio business. The stunt comes after weeks of promos promised a big reveal following swirling speculation that his show would be canceled. SiriusXM in the years after Stern joined has become home to top podcasts like “Call Her Daddy” and “SmartLess.” But its subscriber base has been slowly contracting.
