When did Howard Stern (radio personality not bombshell model enabler) become irrelevant

[rz]

I never understood the popularity of Howard Stern. I would catch snippets of his show, mainly from working with people who would listen, and it always seemed like he was complaining about stuff.

He got (gets) paid a ton after his move to Sirius, and he did bring in a fair number of subscribers. But not nearly enough to pay for the amount of money he gets. I suspect that when his contract is up, they will dump him. I don't think Sirius/XM can survive by paying him the amount he gets.
