Howard Stern is about to add another platform to his self-appointed “king of all media” crown, with a newly announced plan to bring The Howard Stern Show to HBO Max as a weekly streaming series beginning Thursday, September 17. The move will take Stern’s long-running SiriusXM program and repackage it into curated, video-first episodes for the Warner Bros. Discovery streamer, marking the first time his show has had a regular home on a major subscription video service.

Under the new arrangement, Stern will shift his SiriusXM schedule to one live show each week, airing Mondays on Howard 100, with that three-hour radio broadcast serving as the raw material for HBO Max’s version of The Howard Stern Show. Editors will carve out a condensed cut—reportedly in the 60- to 90-minute range—with the streamer also promising “periodic extras” that take advantage of the show’s video feed and backstage moments. New episodes are slated to drop on HBO Max every Thursday at 3:01 a.m. ET/12:01 a.m. PT, starting September 17, giving fans a regular late-night release cadence that fits neatly into the binge-and-clip culture surrounding Stern’s interviews.

For longtime listeners, the HBO Max deal is the latest chapter in Stern’s decades-long evolution from shock-jock FM radio host to premium subscription mainstay and multimedia brand. After leaving terrestrial radio for Sirius in 2006, Stern became one of satellite radio’s defining personalities, with his 2020 agreement extending The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM for five more years and licensing his sprawling archive of audio and video to the service for an additional seven. More recent reporting indicates that Stern’s current extension keeps him at SiriusXM through 2028, reinforcing that the HBO Max series is an additive outlet for his content rather than a replacement for the core radio show.

The shift to a once-a-week live schedule and tightly edited streaming cut also reflects broader changes inside Stern’s corner of SiriusXM. Tabloid and entertainment coverage has framed the HBO Max deal as part of a retooling that saw the Howard 101 channel dropped from the lineup after staff layoffs, while Andy Cohen’s Radio Andy moved into the vacated slot. Sources cited in those reports describe the new Monday-only live format as a “strict schedule” designed to give producers time to shape the HBO Max episode from each week’s three-hour show, underscoring how the streaming partnership is directly influencing how and when Stern goes on air.

For fans who haven’t followed Stern to satellite radio—or who prefer watching to listening—the HBO Max version of The Howard Stern Show could be the most accessible way to keep up with his big-name interviews, celebrity confessions, and on-air arguments. TV-centric outlets note that only new episodes will hit the streamer, not the decades of back catalog, which means HBO Max will function more like a current-season companion than a deep archive. Still, a polished, visual-first cut of each week’s show could bring Stern’s brand of boundary-pushing talk to a new audience that has grown up on streaming services rather than traditional radio or even satellite subscriptions.

Industry-wise, the deal strengthens HBO Max’s push into personality-driven unscripted programming, adding a high-profile talk format to a slate already competing with late-night clips, podcasts-turned-TV, and YouTube-native series. It also gives SiriusXM another avenue to showcase its marquee talent at a time when audio companies are increasingly looking at video as a way to grow reach and extend their brands beyond traditional listening platforms. With Stern returning live to SiriusXM on September 14 and HBO Max episodes launching September 17, listeners and viewers will soon see how his famously loose, often chaotic radio show translates to a tightly cut weekly series built for the streaming era.
