The company's Chief Executive Officer Jim Meyer, who is departing the company at year's end, is focused on inking the signing before his departure.

'I can tell you that we understand the economics very, very well, for instance, of content like Howard Stern,' Meyer said in September speaking at a Goldman Sachs function. 'I can look every investor in the eye and tell them that is a good investment for Sirius XM.'

Meyer last month said at a BofA event that he was 'personally deeply engaged in conversations with Howard’s team' and that things were going well, according to Deadline. 'I am very optimistic about those conversations. We continue to make progress.'

He added: 'We have had Howard for 15 years and I am sure that every penny we paid Howard our shareholders have benefited. And I have been really clear, I want Howard Stern to work at SiriusXM as long as Howard Stern wants to work.'
