Howard Stern has announced significant changes to his long-running SiriusXM program, with the new season set to premiere on September 14th. The most notable shift involves reducing the broadcast frequency from twice weekly to once per week, with episodes airing exclusively on Mondays. This restructuring follows Stern’s three-year contract renewal with SiriusXM that was finalized in December.
In a major expansion of the show’s reach, video episodes will be made available on HBO Max for the first time, launching on Thursdays and occasionally including supplementary material. The shift comes as Stern prepares to unveil a refreshed programming schedule for his Howard 100 channel, which will feature returning segments such as Wrap Up Wednesday alongside new initiatives centered on his extensive archive of previous broadcasts.
The changes come after recent staffing adjustments in July, when several ensemble cast members and production staff were let go amid industry speculation about Stern’s future plans. When Stern finally addressed the rumors upon his return from summer break, he humorously acknowledged the impact of his announcement by joking that renewed commitment to the show now made retirement impossible.
