I believe the 500 million figure must be the absolute top prediction of what he might earn over those 5 years.
On a news show they just said its $100 Mil a year for 5 years. $500 Million total.
When you think about it that's about $800,000 per broadcast. He's on for 5 hours. That's only $160,000 an hour. Am I'd bet its structured on a gross basis where he's got to cover the show costs out of that.
Sirius, which now has more than 600,000 subscribers, hopes Stern can bring along up to 4 million new recruits and catapult its business into the black. They said they'd need at least 1 million to cover the costs of signing Stern.

"Robin Ophelia Quivers" also stated that Howard needed to only bring ONE million new subscribers to Sirius in order to cover the annual cost of his contract, AND to cover all of the production costs of his show (costs).

Yeah, but he's gonna have 3 channels to program and he's taking on a lot of promotional responsabilities also. It's gonna be a lot of work for him. No doubt, it's a sweet deal though.
His E! contract is also up at the end of this year. I think HBO or a smaller cable network would be crazy not to position themselves like sirius did and sign him for a TV deal. Howard is gonna finally be uncensored and there needs to be a TV show to match it so we can finally see what all those strippers look like naked.

he will revolutionize paid radio just like he did free radio. the only reason his fan base isnt bigger right now is because certain stations refused to carry him.
but now, with him being uncensored, he is going to explode. watch him bring controversy to a new level and watch him bring the millions over to sirus. i know i'm gonna subscibe when he moves over just to hear him.
he also gets to program and take a cut of 2 or 3 additional channels. he'll probably justy hire every single one of his competitors. he'll literally OWN his competition. Howard rules. good for him too. he got me through some tough times.
