iHeartMedia and Netflix announced that The Breakfast Club will begin streaming live daily on Netflix starting June 1, marking the platform's first weekday live daily program. The move expands the companies' previously announced video podcast partnership and brings the nationally syndicated radio show to a global streaming audience in real time.

The program, which originates from WWPR-FM (Power 105.1) in New York, will continue airing on stations nationwide through Premiere Networks and on the iHeartRadio app. The Netflix version, however, will feature an expanded presentation with uninterrupted programming and exclusive bonus content replacing traditional commercial breaks.

Hosted by Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, and Jess Hilarious, The Breakfast Club will stream nearly three hours live each weekday, featuring celebrity interviews, commentary, listener discussion, and cultural conversation.

Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia, said the expansion reflects how major audio brands are evolving into video-first experiences. "Taking this show live every day to a global audience on Netflix is a powerful example of how we're expanding the reach of our biggest brands while giving audiences entirely new ways to experience them," Pittman said.

Charlamagne tha God emphasized the value of live programming in today's media environment. "The media landscape will always evolve, but one thing consistently cuts through: live programming," he said. "We're building something powerful-real time conversation, real community, on a global scale."

Netflix Vice President of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy Lauren Smith called the show a "cultural staple" and said the partnership reflects Netflix's growing investment in creator-driven and podcast-based programming.
