Howard Stern’s wife, Beth Stern, expressed enthusiasm about his new partnership with HBO Max, highlighting the personal and professional benefits of the arrangement. Speaking on Thursday, Beth described the deal as a positive development for their family, noting that it allows Howard to reduce his work schedule while remaining engaged with his audience. “It’s actually great for me because he’s now only going to start working one day a week,” she said, adding that the arrangement provides her with more time with her husband while keeping him connected to his fans.

The agreement, finalized last month, will see Stern’s SiriusXM radio show return for a new season starting Monday, with episodes becoming available on HBO Max weekly beginning Thursday. This marks the first time Stern’s weekly broadcasts will be streamed on the platform. According to sources, Stern, 72, will conduct live shows exclusively on Mondays under the new deal.

This move follows Stern’s decision last December to sign a three-year contract with SiriusXM, which he described as offering him greater flexibility in his work schedule. The arrangement aligns with his interest in maintaining a balance between his career and personal life while continuing to evolve his media presence through new platforms.
