- Howard Stern will return to SiriusXM with a single live show each week starting Monday, Sept. 14, under a contract that the company says extends through 2028.
- SiriusXM said the live broadcasts will be captured with an expanded video setup using 40 cameras and then adapted into streamable HBO Max episodes with periodic extras.
- SiriusXM will relaunch its Howard 100 channel lineup on Sept. 14 with shows like Wrap Up Wednesday and a Howard Stern Decades archive while reporting from outlets says the Howard 101 channel was removed and about a dozen staffers were laid off over the summer.
