NEW YORK -- Forget the various rumors and rumblings. Howard Stern made it clear this morning: He's staying put on satellite radio.
Stern says he would "Throw up'' if he had to go back to terrestrial radio.
The self-proclaimed King of All Media said that three companies have made overtures through his agent, but there was no interest from his end. He did not name the companies.
Stern is just five months into a five-year, $500 million satellite radio contract.
He says he's never been happier.
Stern made his comments during an on-air interview Wednesday with The Associated Press.
Stern competitors Greg "Opie'' Hughes and Anthony Cumia recently made such an agreement with CBS Radio. Stern worked for CBS before making his move to satellite in January.
Stern said that Opie and Anthony's return to traditional radio signified their "failure'' on satellite. And he reiterated his intent to continue his program exclusively on satellite.
Stern said he left traditional radio because of the censorship and fights with the Federal Communications Commission.
