The Howard Stern Show is an American talk radio show hosted by Howard Stern on Howard 100, one of two uncensored channels on SIRIUS XM Radio, a subscription-based satellite radio service. The channels were given to Stern in 2005 during his transition from WXRK, the terrestrial radio station that Stern had been with since 1985. For over twenty years[1] the terrestrial show was syndicated on FM (and a few AM) radio stations throughout the United States until the last broadcast on December 16, 2005. By the end of 2005, Stern was tied with Laura Schlesinger as the fifth most listened to radio show on terrestrial radio.
