SiriusXM Reportedly May Drop Howard Stern 101 Channel
So basically reducing his workload and focusing on his single dedicated channel.

So basically reducing his workload and focusing on his single dedicated channel.
Ever since Stanley T left, I just don’t think the show has been the same. And honestly, between Nicole & Ryan and Hits 1 in general, I feel like it’s time for a complete shake-up.
Does anyone know if there are plans to replace them or bring in some new voices? Because at this point they all need to go! Nicole & Ryan are not doing it for me and honestly, I’m so over hearing about their broken relationships and personal drama.
Can we please get some fresh (and talented) personalities on Hits 1?
If they were still charging for the service I'd be furious. At 7:56pm central US 8/18/26 there was an ad for a movie called nimrods on channel 6. Is 6 not one of the ad free channels? They're constantly advertising for things across many channels these days.
Please bring Mosaic back down to a lower channel number so I can listen in my car!! I loved it and I miss it!
It holds regular radio presets but not the Sirius. As soon as I turn off the car get out then get back in presets are gone and back to channel 1.
Has anyone successfully switched to a USA subscription after the radio was previously registered in Canada? I need to renew and US seems to have better promos. I can sign up and pay from a US address, but last time I tried 2 years ago they shut me down saying the radio was registered in Canada and couldn't be moved.
Did they change this channel range to app only and no longer on the car radio? I Don't know anything about these channels, it's my husband's deal. Got in the car Saturday early afternoon and he goes to this channel range (NFL official team channels) and there's some kind of message, out of range or trying to connect or something, and he said we previously got these channels. Later I check my account online and the lineup said app only. I told him this and he said it's ridiculous. Has anyone noticed this? Do I need to call them and run a diagnostic to the radio? He said they do this without warning and charge the same amount for less channels in the car? When did they do this?
I also have some Sirius ones but they're sadly too big to fit on my scanner
I find the censorship and moderation of what’s appropriate so interesting. The Alt channel will sometimes allow fuck, but then other times bleep ass. There are channels fully using slurs, channel 3!!! has Alex Cooper saying “fuck this” and “fuck that” every other break, but we have to listen to the clean version of rock songs. Who decides? Is it channel by channel?
Honestly, they took away OutQ and I missed it so much. Got a trial subscription and was enjoying Tom Morello’s stations. And just like that…gone.
Was cleaning out some old boxes and found this XM lineup from 2009. I think this came with my SkyDock. Crazy how much has changed, but also what still is around. I forget what was going on with 154 and 173 - they've just labeled "talk". Plus I forgot about the Clear Channel stations at that time.
There's a lot here I miss - XM Public Radio, Book Radio (oddly), 20 on 20, BBC 1, Pops, Loft, and from Best of Sirius Martha Radio.
Copied the story below so no one has to deal with the paywall bullshit.... Channel 101 is being removed.
Howard Stern fans hoping to hear more of the “King of All Media” on SiriusXM are about to have fewer options to make that happen, according to multiple reports.
Stern recently had mass staff layoffs amid reports that he was cutting back to one live show per week, and in the aftermath of that, new reports say that SiriusXM is “parting ways” with his second channel, 101, from its lineup.
Stern currently has Howard 100 and Howard 101 on SiriusXM. The 101 channel began with shows picked by Stern such as “Bubba the Love Sponge” and sports talk hosted by Scott Ferrall. Those shows eventually moved off the channel, and the channel transitioned to playing archived Stern shows, specials and shows that supplemented the main channel.
According to reports, the recent layoffs on Stern’s staff consisted of individuals who mostly worked on Howard 101. With Stern reportedly moving to one new show per week, the Howard 100 channel will likely have to fill time with archived shows and clips, taking away the need for 101.
The news comes just weeks after the reports of the layoffs which included a longtime member of “The Howard Stern Show” announcing that he was leaving.
Rahsaan Rogers, who hosts shows on Stern’s SiriusXM channels and also works as a producer, announced that he is moving on.
“After 16 incredible years with The Howard Stern Show and the Howard Stern Channels, I’m opening a new chapter,” Rogers wrote on his LinkedIn. “Some career highlights I’m proud of: hosting The Howard Stern Wrap-Up Show, serving as solo host of Sternthology Live, hosting multiple seasons of Summer School, and producing specials built from 40+years of Stern Show archives.
“I got to interview people I grew up admiring, direct live broadcasts in real time, and mentor some seriously talented producers along the way,” he added. “Working inside the most successful franchise in talk radio taught me how great shows actually get made: preparation, instinct, and knowing what the audience wants before they do.”
Just a reminder that channel 300 is now Billboard Top 500 Summer Hits
When selecting other channels first it doesn’t happen.
What is up with the Turbo playlist this week? I’m now hearing 3 Doors Down, Creed, and NICKELBACK. Um, if you’re going to play these guys, throw in some grunge while you’re at it. Not knocking any of these bands - I like them well enough, just wasn’t expecting to hear Nickelback nestled in between Tool and Slipknot this morning. If you’re gonna do that, gimme Soundgarden, AIC, and Nirvana, too. Just sayin’.
So I took my 2008 Hyundai Elantra to get it inspected by the state and though I need to go through it again by September 30, I received an email from SiriusXM offering me a 3 month free trial for my car as a thank you for going through emissions inspection. Thing is that I have an active trial on my 2015 VW Jetta SE TSI and though both cars share the same email on my account, it’s not linked due to the fact I have an existing trial on a car I bought in June and I don’t have a paying subscription for SiriusXM.
Is it possible to have one car with a new 3-month free trial while having another car on the same trial at the same time with the same account or will there be some problem being that both cars are in my name but not linked together?
Today Sirius channels are misidentified in the app. They play the correct content but display another channel. That’s on channel 73 60’s gold. Other channels doing the same displaying other channels.
Does my trial period have to end before I ask for the best price possible per month while threatening to cancel? I.e. $4.99 per month for 12 months then $9.99 per month.
What is the best price you guys are getting at the moment?
Thanks!
