<HR class=first>Howard Stern is sticking with Sirius.

With only four more days on his existing contract after this morning's show, Stern announced he'll stay on his Sirius/XM radio station for another five years -- and after that, he's done.

"I have come to the conclusion that the real innovators, the real geniuses are the people here at Sirius," said Stern, adding "I can say with almost certainty that this is my final five years on radio."

He didn't disclose how much he'd be getting from his new deal, except to say it was "very fair."

Stern also said the contract statuses of Howard's staff, which includes Robin Quivers, Fred Norris and Baba Booey are all still pending.

<HR class=first>Howard Stern single-handedly boosted Sirius Satellite Radio sales "through the roof" this morning -- TMZ has learned the company was hit with a tidal wave of phone calls immediately following Stern's big announcement.

Minutes after Stern revealed his plans to stick with Sirius for another 5 years -- customer service reps tell us they were overwhelmed by calls from listeners who wanted to sign up for new accounts.

But get this -- we're told "hundreds" of callers were also interested in "re-activating" accounts that had been placed on hold due to the uncertainty of Stern's return.

All hail the king.

His stuff does not impress me and I cannot stand the voice of robin quivers.

I haven't listened to Howard since he was fired from DC101 some time in the late 70's. Use to tune in all the time back then.

SIRI stock didn't seem to get much benefit or the news was baked in before the announcement.

The share price only went up 7 cents when I last checked yesterday.
