Relief for some.

There were "rumors" he would go over to iTunes and do the show via iTunes, but that was ridiculous. No, Stern will stay right where he is:

Yeah! Stick it to 'em, Howard! These aren't the times when a guy should budge an inch on salaries. It will be amusing to see how Sirius XM explains the next rate hike, and insists it has nothing to do with Stern. Of course, Stern fans might counter that Howard brings in so many millions of dollars he keeps the subscription costs down. And then someone in the comment shouts "Bababooey!" like it's the funniest thing ever, and that's the end of that. The ITunes rumors, by the way, were all a prank, started here.

Hey, is that a wig? Maybe.
