Sirius XM has signed a new five-year deal with infamous 'shock jock' Howard Stern, one that will pay him somewhere between $80-$100 million per year.
Stern's current 5-year $500 million deal expires at the end of the year.
As part of the new deal, the shock jock can also be streamed via mobile/Internet apps, such as those found on the Apple iPhone and Android smartphones, alongside satellite radio devices.
Stern's first deal blocked the host from being on Internet sources.
Since Stern's original contract was signed, Sirius' subscriber base has jumped from 600,000 to 19 million.
