Netflix to Stream The Breakfast Club Live on Weekdays Starting June 1
Netflix will launch its first daily live program on June 1 with a video simulcast of the popular morning radio show and podcast The Breakfast Club. The announcement, made Thursday, marks a significant expansion of the streaming service’s live content strategy.
The show, hosted by Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Jess Hilarious, will stream live every weekday on Netflix. It originates from WWPR-FM (Power 105.1) in New York City and will continue its traditional radio broadcast, which is syndicated nationally by Premiere Networks to over 100 stations and available on the iHeartRadio app. The Netflix stream, however, will offer an enhanced experience by replacing the radio broadcast's commercial breaks with exclusive bonus segments, behind-the-scenes moments, extended discussions, and original content.
This move follows a partnership between Netflix and iHeartMedia that was first announced in December. Under that initial agreement, Netflix became the exclusive streaming home for the video version of The Breakfast Club, with full episodes arriving on the service after the live radio broadcast. The new daily live feed represents the next phase of that collaboration.
