Sirius XM announced in its official channel-lineup update that Howard 101 will be removed from the SiriusXM lineup and Radio Andy will move into the 101 slot, with the new numbering taking effect September 1.
The company’s channel-change post lists Radio Andy at Channel 101 and notes explicitly that Howard 100 will remain on Channel 100 while Howard 101 “leaves the lineup,” as part of the update that goes live September 1.
The Hollywood Reporter also reported that Andy Cohen will take over Channel 101 starting Sept. 1 and that Howard Stern will continue on Howard 100 while reducing his SiriusXM schedule to one show per week as part of the reshuffle.
According to Hollywood Reporter, the handoff was described on-air by Stern and Cohen during a taped segment; the outlet says Stern is keeping Howard 100 and that Radio Andy’s move follows the company’s formal lineup announcement.
Sirius XM’s post includes a full channel table showing the updated placements across music, sports and talk channels. The company highlights several other sports and entertainment moves in the same lineup release, underscoring this as a broader numbering reorganization rather than a single-channel removal.
Hollywood Reporter added context that Howard 101 historically carried archival clips and extended “Wrap Up” content and that Stern plans a refreshed Howard 100 schedule, with a new Howard 100 lineup to be revealed in mid-September.
Radio business observers say lineup renumbering is a standard programming maneuver to consolidate marquee shows and free space for partners or new programming; Sirius XM’s own change post frames the shifts as part of a scheduled September 1 update to help listeners find channels more easily.
