Howard Stern is saving face, and it’s all good.
Howard will stream the video of his weekly Monday Sirius XM show on HBO Max beginning next week.
The HBO Max part will air Thursdays. It’s a good complement for fans who don’t have Sirius and/or want to see Howard and his guests in person and not just listen to them on the radio.
On Sirius, for the rest of each week, Stern’s show will be archival, from his vast library of interviews.
Howard will unveil a new lineup for his long-time SiriusXM channel Howard 100, including Wrap Up Wednesday, an expanded version of Howard’s Wrap Up Show hosted by Gary Dell’Abate and Jon Hein, plus new ways to hear his multi-decade library of past shows. The Howard Stern section of the SiriusXM app is also expanding to include “Howard Stern Decades” for instant access to Howard’s content from, or about, the 80’s, 90’s, 00’s and 10’s.
That decision resulted in letting go 12 veteran staffers who are no longer needed to provide daily entertainment.
It’s a happy ending for everyone as Sirius eases Stern into retirement. His show appears on Channel 100, but his other channel, 101, now goes to Andy Cohen.
Meantime, I’m listening Little Steven’s Underground Garage, Smokey’s Soul Town, and the Beatles channel. Can’t live without them!
