TSX up after index logs fresh record high close
Investing.com -- Howard Stern’s 20-year tenure at SiriusXM has come to an end, with Andy Cohen unexpectedly taking over the airwaves on Monday morning, according to a report from Variety.
Listeners tuning into Stern’s Channel 100 were greeted by Cohen instead of Stern, who had been expected to make an announcement about his future with the satellite radio company.
"I know you’re expecting a big announcement from Howard and this is not how things were meant to go," Cohen said on air. "This was supposed to be a cleaner hand off – I’m kind of winging it."
Cohen described the situation as a "surreal morning" and acknowledged, "I can’t possibly fill his void." He expressed confidence that Stern, who is 71, would soon find another platform.
Stern had previously fueled speculation about his contract status, turning rumors about his potential departure into a promotional opportunity. He initially told listeners he would address the topic on his September 2 show, but later postponed the announcement until Monday, suggesting negotiations were still ongoing.
