Tubi, the ad-supported streaming service from Fox Corporation, has announced today a new partnership with iHeartMedia to bring the radio show and podcast “The Breakfast Club” to its platform. This marks the first time the morning show will be available both on-demand and through a dedicated free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel set to launch in February.
“The Breakfast Club,” hosted by DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious, is known for its mix of entertainment, music and candid discussions with high-profile guests. The show reaches six million listeners monthly and has a strong presence on social media, influencing discussions in modern culture, particularly in contemporary Hip-Hop and R&B.
Starting Thursday, Tubi viewers can access “best of” moments from the show on-demand. The upcoming FAST Channel will feature a daily selection of the show’s most memorable episodes and segments, alongside curated clips and highlights-all available for free.
The partnership extends “The Breakfast Club’s” reach beyond its traditional radio audience and into a new digital realm, leveraging Tubi’s platform to tap into a broader fan base. The show is syndicated by Premiere Networks on over 100 stations nationwide, from WWPR (Power 105.1) in New York to markets such as Houston, Atlanta and Miami. It is also available as a podcast on iHeartRadio.
Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “‘The Breakfast Club’ transcends morning shows with honest conversations at the heart of culture. Our partnership with iHeartMedia allows us to bring this influential and entertaining show to Tubi’s massive audience for even more fans to discover.”
John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia, highlighted the show’s cultural significance: “‘The Breakfast Club’ has become a beacon of popular culture for millions in America on air, online, and socially. This new partnership with Tubi extends the reach of this iconic franchise to new TV audiences everywhere.”
