00:05listeners Monday morning as questions swirl about his future with Sirius XM.

00:17At 7 a.m., Sirius subscribers tuned in expecting Stern.

00:30The announcement, also posted on the Stern show's X account, sparked multiple news reports

00:36claiming Stern was leaving after nearly 20 years at Sirius.

00:40But about 10 minutes later, the man himself took the mic to clear things up.

00:45Sirius XM and my team have been talking about how we go forward in the future.

00:51Back in August, fans began to wonder if Stern's five-year contract signed in 2020 would be renewed.

00:57At the beginning of September, he promised an update, but delayed it until Monday's show.

01:02Stern stopped short of announcing a new deal, but just last week, Sirius executives said

01:07they wanted to keep him on the air, calling it a matter of finding terms that made sense.

01:12At 71, Stern joked that he'd love to retire, but said he can't or people will think he was pushed out.

01:19He also shot rumors down that his show was canceled for being too woke, calling those claims completely false.
