Barstool owner Dave Portnoy reveals they\u2019re 99.9% leaving SiriusXM SiriusXMBarstool Sports\u2019 Dave Portnoy has appeared to confirm that the popular website\u2019s SiriusXM channel will be moving on satellite radio, claiming he was \u201c99%\u201d sure they were leaving. [jwplayer ftb8P7Xy] The satirical sports website announced its SiriusXM channel back in November of 2017 and launched a few months later in January 2018. Now, however, it seems like the deal is done and so is Barstool. Dave Portnoy, Barstool Sports\u2019 founder took to Twitter to announce that it was looking extremely unlikely that the channel would continue on SiriusXM. I\u2019d say we\u2019re 99.9% out of Sirius. We aren\u2019t in same stratosphere in terms of negotiations. We will just move on to new platforms as always. Our crowd will follow as always. \u2014 Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) October 6, 2020 \u201cI\u2019d say we\u2019re 99.9% out of Sirius,\u201d he revealed. \u201cWe aren\u2019t in same stratosphere in terms of negotiations.\u201d \u201cWe will just move on to new platforms as always. Our crowd will follow as always,\u201d the Barstool founder added. It\u2019s unclear exactly where they will move to and Portnoy, who has grown increasingly famous over the years in part to his viral pizza reviews, offered no clues. One possible destination spot could very well be Spotify, which shocked the industry by signing Joe Rogan and his podcast to an exclusive deal. While Portnoy didn\u2019t elaborate on the type of deal he would like, it sounds like he\u2019s being severely low-balled by the satellite radio company, hence his aggressive-sounding tweet. This news comes as Bloomberg has reported that Howard Stern is nearing a massive $120M a year deal \u2013 a step above from his previous deals at $80 to $100 million a year. See this is why I can\u2019t work for peanuts. Im not Stern. But I\u2019m not nobody either. https:\/\/t.co\/0srZuwU4Wl \u2014 Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) October 6, 2020 If those reports are right, it\u2019s a sign that Sirius XM is willing to pay some serious cash, but apparently not when it comes to keeping Barstool within its network. \u201cSee this is why I can\u2019t work for peanuts,\u201d Portnoy said in response to the Stern report. \u201cI\u2019m not Stern. But I\u2019m not nobody either.\u201d We\u2019ll just have to see what the future holds for both SiriusXM and Barstool, and if a deal can be salvaged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
