WASHINGTON — Howard Stern has delayed his return to his SiriusXM show, originally slated for Tuesday, after weeks of promotion and speculation that the show would be canceled.

For weeks, there has been speculation about the legendary radio personality's show, fueled in part by his own social media accounts.

British tabloid The Sun reported in August that Stern's show was set to end because there was no chance that SiriusXM and Stern would be able to come to terms on a new contract.

The Stern Show's X account then leaned into the report and rampant speculation, posting a video in August featuring a number of possibilities: "Fired? Retiring? Canceled? Bye-Bye Booey?" the ad said. "Howard Stern will speak."

The ad said Stern's statement would come on "The Stern Show" on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
