Sirius to Give Stern $220 Million in Stock
Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. will give Howard Stern 34 million shares of stock worth about $220 million at today's prices because the company has met agreed-upon targets for gaining new subscribers under its 2004 deal with the shock jock.
Sirius said its subscriber count as of Dec. 31 exceeded the target it had agreed upon with Stern in October 2004, when it made a five-year deal with him.
At the time, Sirius said its deal with Stern would be worth about $100 million a year beginning in 2006. The 34.4 million shares were then worth about $110 million, but the stock has about doubled in value since that time.

I think Radio Shack is offering Sirius. Take some time to go there to see if they can help you cancel. I read somewhere there is a different number you can call. I can't find that link right now. I've also read their cancellation number is like being in a black hole. Check for their dedicated help line number. I'm not sure if this is it or if this is their regular number (888)539-7474.

After you finally get it cancelled, you won't miss it.
