"Like never before we will provide people with a great collection of entertainment, music and sports that they can enjoy in the comfort of their own home."

On December 31 at 11:00 pm ET on channel Howard 101 Artie Lange hosts an exclusive special broadcast of his comedy DVD, It's the Whiskey Talking.
