Howard Stern’s SiriusXM Show Shifts to Weekly Schedule as HBO Max Streams Video Episodes

Howard Stern’s flagship radio program will move from a twice-weekly live broadcast to a single new episode each Monday, beginning September 14 (scheduled). The same episode will be filmed and adapted into a streamable video version that premieres on HBO Max worldwide on September 17 (scheduled), with subsequent episodes released each Thursday. The arrangement extends Stern’s existing three-year SiriusXM contract through 2028 and adds a new video component to reach “millions of viewers,” according to the host’s own statement.

Stern first migrated to SiriusXM in 2006 after a landmark $500 million, five-year deal with the satellite service. A five-year renewal in 2025 sparked speculation about retirement, which Stern amplified with a prank involving Andy Cohen. The upcoming changes also coincide with a restructuring of Stern’s SiriusXM channels: Howard 100 remains on channel 100, while Howard 101 is slated to leave the lineup on September 1 (scheduled), and “Radio Andy” will move from channel 102 to channel 101.

Sources differ on the status of the Howard 101 channel. Variety and Deadline report that the channel will be removed from the SiriusXM lineup on September 1, while the SiriusXM blog post cited by The Independent confirms the removal but does not detail the fate of its programming. Additionally, some outlets (e.g., Rolling Stone) omit any mention of Howard 101, focusing solely on the new “Wrap Up Wednesday” segment and the HBO Max series, leaving the precise handling of former Howard 101 content unclear.
