Overview
- iHeartMedia and Netflix announced Thursday that starting June 1, 2026 the Breakfast Club will stream live on Netflix weekdays at 6 a.m. Eastern with nearly three hours of programming.
- Netflix will replace the radio’s commercial breaks in its feed with exclusive bonus segments, behind-the-scenes moments and extended discussions to create an uninterrupted viewing experience.
- The show will keep its current hosts — Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious — and iHeartMedia will retain audio distribution and Premiere Networks will continue syndication to more than 100 radio stations and the iHeartRadio app.
- Some long-time viewers have reacted negatively to the shift because full video episodes were removed from YouTube earlier this year and parts of the world saw limited Netflix availability.
- The move builds on a December video-podcast partnership between the companies and signals Netflix’s larger strategy to expand live and podcast-format programming as a cost-efficient way to grow daily engagement.
