Live from Recent York: It’s Charlamagne Tha God and the crew from “The Breakfast Club” morning talk show — on Netflix.
Starting June 1, Netflix will stream “The Breakfast Club” live each day, available to subscribers worldwide. It is going to grow to be the streamer’s first each day live program, airing each weekday starting (shiny and early!) at 6 a.m. Eastern.
The Netflix livestream will feature nearly three hours of uninterrupted programming, featuring commentary from Charlamagne and co-hosts DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious and Loren LoRosa and interviews with guests. While “The Breakfast Club’s” radio broadcast will proceed to incorporate traditional industrial breaks, on Netflix viewers could have an “uninterrupted experience” — with ad breaks filled by exclusive bonus segments including behind-the-scenes moments and prolonged discussions.
The video-podcast version of “The Breakfast Club” moved to Netflix in January 2026, when full episodes of the show stopped being distributed on YouTube — prompting some fans to specific frustration that the video version is not any longer available to observe free of charge. That was part of a bigger licensing deal between iHeartMedia and Netflix for exclusive rights to the video versions of a slate of podcasts. To this point, episodes of “The Breakfast Club” are made available on Netflix shortly after the radio broadcast, but now they’ll be available live.
Charlamagne Tha God said in a press release: “Do y’all understand what ‘live globally’ really means? Mornings in Recent York. Daytime within the U.K. and Ghana. Evenings across other parts of the world. The media landscape will at all times evolve, but one thing consistently cuts through: live programming. That’s a giant reason ‘The Breakfast Club’ has sustained its reign for thus long. We’re constructing something powerful — real-time conversation, real community, on a world scale. The longer term belongs to those that can see what’s possible — and trust me, the vision for ‘The Breakfast Club’ and Netflix is crystal clear.”
“The Breakfast Club” originates from iHeartMedia’s Power 105.1/WWPR-FM radio station in Recent York and can proceed to be nationally syndicated by Premiere Networks on greater than 100 broadcast radio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app, with all audio-only rights and distribution continuing to be retained by iHeartMedia. Audio replays of “The Breakfast Club” are also available on podcast platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
“’The Breakfast Club’ has been a cultural staple for years, and we’re thrilled to make it our first each day live morning show on Netflix,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix’s VP of content licensing and programming strategy. “It’s a giant step forward in how we bring culturally defining audio-first franchises to life for Netflix audiences all over the world, and we’re excited to deepen our partnership with iHeartMedia.”
Netflix jumped into the podcast space last yr. It has licensed shows from iHeartMedia, Spotify and Barstool, and built out a lineup of original podcasts including “The Pete Davidson Show” and upcoming pop-culture interview podcast “We’re Back! With Brian Williams,” hosted by the previous NBC News anchor.
In December 2025, iHeartMedia renewed its cope with Charlamagne (real name: Lenard McKelvey) for one more five years. First launched in 2010, “The Breakfast Club” is “widely thought to be essentially the most informative and entertaining top-rated contemporary Hip-Hop/R&B morning show today,” iHeart claims.
Guests who’ve appeared on the show include President Barack Obama, President Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, Jay-Z, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Future, 50 Cent, Lizzo, Will Smith, Alicia Keys and lots of more. The crew also hosts “Weekends with The Breakfast Club,” a three-hour weekly program featuring a countdown of the highest 20 songs on the charts and interviews. Charlamagne Tha God and “The Breakfast Club” were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2020.
“’The Breakfast Club’ has at all times been at the middle of culture, breaking artists, shaping conversations and reflecting real life in real time,” said Bob Pittman, iHeartMedia’s chairman and CEO. “Taking this show live each day to a world audience on Netflix is a strong example of how we’re expanding the reach of our biggest brands while giving audiences entirely latest ways to experience them.”
