Howard Stern blames contract, says 'maybe' his Sirius show will be on iPhone

Howard Stern said a contract "rights issue" is the reason why his show isn't on the Sirius XM (SIRI) software application that was made available last week at the Apple (AAPL) iTunes store.

"It was a rights thing, a contractual rights thing," Stern told listeners on his radio show today. "It was a rights issue and a whole entanglement thing. So, we're not on it. Maybe one day we will be."
