Howard Stern

Having pioneered a groundbreaking approach to terrestrial radio, Howard Stern became the first to host the number one morning radio show in both New York and Los Angeles simultaneously in 1992. His professional radio career began in 1975, quickly progressing to earn a Billboard Award for Album-Oriented Rock Personality of the Year in 1981, the same year he began his long-standing collaboration with Robin Quivers at WWDC. Following his 1985 departure from WNBC, Stern signed with Infinity Broadcasting for WXRK, initiating national syndication of The Howard Stern Show in 1986, which ultimately reached 60 markets and an audience of 20 million listeners. Stern continued expanding his media footprint throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, extending into television and publishing.

That same year, he was included in the Time 100 list and ranked seventh on Forbes’ Celebrity 100 list. Continuing his prolific career, Stern served as a celebrity judge on ‘America’s Got Talent’ from 2012 to 2015, simultaneously inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2012. Forbes recognized him as America’s highest-paid television personality in both 2013 and 2014, and the world’s highest-paid media personality and fifth highest-earning celebrity worldwide in 2015. He solidified his long-term commitment to SiriusXM with contract renewals in 2015 and again in 2020, each for five additional years.

His third book, ‘Howard Stern Comes Again,’ was published in 2019.
