SiriusXM and Howard Stern have announced that starting Tuesday, March 31 through May 15, SiriusXM will start offering free access to its full lineup of streaming content to listeners in North America. Stern kicked off the unprecedented stream free access Tuesday morning while hosting "The Howard Stern Show," on channel 100, from his home. Anyone who is not already a SiriusXM subscriber can download the SiriusXM app or go to SiriusXM.com/streamfree, and start listening free with no credit card or commitment required.

"With so many people asked to stay at home, we are making our full streaming lineup of music, entertainment, news and information easily accessible to everyone," said SiriusXM CEO Jim Meyer. "In the days ahead, we hope it's a valuable source of information or diversion, a generous mix of fresh live content, and a source of companionship that comes from the hosts on our many shows and channels. And there was no better way to launch the Stream Free content than with Howard this morning."

Listeners will have free access to more than 300 channels of programming, featuring "The Howard Stern Show," hundreds of ad-free music channels, and vital news and information sources. SiriusXM is also adding entirely new curated content, and bringing back some music channels by top artists.

#StayHome Radio, a feel-good, ad-free music channel, will launch April 1 on the streaming platform and channel 179 on most SiriusXM radios. The channel will feature happy and uplifting songs from artists like Lizzo and Coldplay to Pink and Bob Marley.

And as people spend time at home, SiriusXM is bringing back "The Billy Joel Channel," "Dave Matthews Band Radio" and a new channel full of the Top 1000 songs across multiple genres, all available starting April 1.
