Wikipedia / Howard 100 and Howard 101

Howard 100 and Howard 101 are two uncensored channels on SiriusXM, a satellite radio service that broadcasts programming affiliated with Howard Stern and The Howard Stern Show. Though the channels were first broadcast on September 29, 2005 with the former company Sirius Satellite Radio, Stern could not officially broadcast until January 1, 2006, as Stern was still at WXRK, the terrestrial radio station where he had to finish his FM radio contract. A merger of Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio occurred in the summer of 2008.

During the time satellite radio was directly monitored by what was then Arbitron, Howard 100 was the most-listened-to station on the Sirius platform (and all of satellite radio), with 1,210,000 of Sirius's 7,160,000 subscribers (a 17% share of the audience) listening to it in 2008; Howard 101 ranked third on that list with 501,100 listeners (a 7% share), behind Sirius's contemporary hit radio channel Sirius Hits.

As Stern reduced his workload in the mid-2020s and talent not directly tied to The Howard Stern Show departed the channels, the two channels became increasingly redundant, and internal discussions began in 2026 that would eliminate Howard 101 and merge its remaining programs onto Howard 100.

Ultimately, it was announced on August 28, 2026 that Howard 101 would be dropped from the SiriusXM channel lineup effective September 1, 2026.
