The Breakfast Club will stream live daily on Netflix starting June 1

The Breakfast Club goes live on Netflix

The Breakfast Club is set to become the first daily live program on Netflix, streaming each weekday starting June 1. According to Billboard, the iHeartRadio show co-hosted by Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious and Loren LoRosa will air simultaneously on radio and on the streamer, giving Netflix subscribers nearly three hours of real-time access beginning at 6 a.m. ET.

The move is a notable expansion of what has been a growing relationship between iHeartMedia and Netflix. The streamer already hosts video podcast collaborations with shows including My Favorite Murder, Bobby Bones Presents: The Bobbycast, Dear Chelsea with Chelsea Handler, and Joe and Jada with Fat Joe and Jadakiss.

What Netflix subscribers actually get

The show will keep its traditional commercial breaks for radio listeners, but Netflix viewers will receive what the companies are calling an enhanced, uninterrupted experience during those gaps. That means exclusive bonus segments, behind-the-scenes footage, extended conversations and original content filling the time instead of ads.

Charlamagne tha God framed the deal in global terms. "Do y'all understand what 'Live Globally' really means? Mornings in New York. Daytime in the U.K. and Ghana. Evenings across other parts of the world," he said in a statement. iHeartMedia CEO Bob Pittman echoed that framing, noting that whether it is morning in New York City or afternoon in London, the conversation reaches the world in real time.

A show with history

The Breakfast Club first hit the air in 2010 out of Power 105.1/WWPR FM in New York. The video podcast version of the show moved to Netflix in January, after full episodes stopped running for free on YouTube. The June 1 launch takes that relationship a step further, making live broadcasts available to Netflix subscribers as they happen on the radio.

For a platform still finding its footing in live programming, landing a show with this kind of daily cultural footprint is a meaningful bet.
