NEW YORK, March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Howard Stern and SiriusXM announced Howard Stern's Saturday Soundtracks, a weekly exploration of the most intimate, innovative, and inspiring music performances recorded both recently and over the decades on the Howard Stern Show.
The radio premiere will be March 9 at 9:00 a.m. ET on his exclusive SiriusXM channel, Howard 101, with replays later in the day. A new episode will air every Saturday and be available On Demand via the SiriusXM app. The Howard Stern Video episode of Saturday Soundtracks will be released every Saturday via the SiriusXM app, and will provide fans with performances that haven't been seen in many years. Howard Stern is among the strongest advocates for musicians, giving exposure on his massive radio show to major artists and up-and-comers. Last year, he inducted Bon Jovi into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Last week, Stern welcomed Gary Clark, Jr. on the show, with Def Leppard expected to be a guest in March.
