Responding to rumors that he may return to "free radio," Howard Stern says he's turned down a "major deal" to return to the terrestrial format. Stern, according to PRinside.com, who is five months into his five-year $500 million contract, says, "I'm very flattered terrestrial radio can't let go of me. But I would throw up if I had to go back. I'm never going back. The story is I wouldn't do it (terrestrial radio) for any reason. Not for money. I left because I couldn't stand the censorship. I couldn't stand the Federal Communications Commission. I've never been happier. We're flying high and doing great."
