Howard Stern’s replacement for SiriusXM channel announced in lineup shake-up
The Independent • • entertainment
Key Points:
- SiriusXM announced that Howard 101, one of Howard Stern's flagship channels, will be removed from the lineup effective September 1, with Radio Andy moving to channel 101.
- The change follows recent layoffs on Stern's show and the departure of producer Rahsaan Rogers, signaling possible restructuring within Stern's team.
- Stern, who has been with SiriusXM since 2006 under a lucrative contract, signed a new deal last December amid contract negotiation tensions with the network.
- In a notable on-air prank last September, Bravo's Andy Cohen temporarily replaced Stern, leading to false reports of Stern's departure; however, Cohen has now officially taken over the Howard 101 channel.
- Despite the channel removal, Howard 100 remains active, and Stern continues to host his show alongside Robin Quivers.
