Howard Stern’s SiriusXM Program to Move to Weekly Streamed Episodes on HBO Max Starting Sept. 17

Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio program is set to become a weekly streaming series on HBO Max after the platform, Stern’s production company, and SiriusXM reached a deal for filmed episodes, Deadline reported on Aug. 31. The announcement puts Stern’s long-running show into a timed, episode-based format designed for premium streaming rather than radio schedules, while keeping the core “Howard Stern Show” brand for audiences. Under the agreement, the weekly series will premiere globally on HBO Max on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 12:01 a.m. PT (3:01 a.m. ET), Deadline said. The release plan calls for a cadence of new episodes each subsequent Thursday, establishing an ongoing weekly programming block for the show. Deadline reported that the series will be released as “The Howard Stern Show,” reflecting its origins as a daily radio program that has built a long audience following for its interview, talk, and comedy format. By moving to filmed, weekly episodes, the project also reflects a broader shift in mainstream entertainment distribution, where established audio and live formats are increasingly adapted for streaming services that rely on regular releases and viewer retention. The new HBO Max version is being produced in partnership, with Stern’s production company teaming with SiriusXM alongside the streamer, according to Deadline. The arrangement links the radio brand’s production infrastructure to HBO Max’s distribution platform, aligning the show’s existing corporate and creative partnerships with a streaming schedule intended to reach viewers outside SiriusXM’s traditional subscribers. No additional details about the episode format, number of episodes for the initial run, or specific creative production changes were included in Deadline’s report. HBO Max and the partner companies are expected to provide further information about the series rollout, including episode availability, scheduling details in specific markets, and any updates to how the weekly filmed release will correspond to the underlying SiriusXM radio content.
