For years, “The” Lance Jay Radio Network has carved out a unique space in syndicated broadcasting, seamlessly blending discussions on sports, hip-hop music, current events, healthcare, and business. Now, under the banner of “Lance Jay Plus +,” this multifaceted program, alongside “The Rubicon HealthCast,” has found a prominent new home on SiriusXM Channel 141, HUR Voices, marking a significant evolution in its reach and impact.

The network’s evolution saw it expand its thematic scope, notably launching “The Rubicon HealthCast” during the COVID-19 pandemic. Spearheaded by James Lewis III, a veteran in the healthcare executive space, this segment delved into critical issues within the American healthcare system, social determinants of health, and broader discussions on politics. “The Rubicon HealthCast” also gained traction through terrestrial radio syndication via Urban One and Bloomberg in key markets, further broadening its audience.
In December 2023, “The” Lance Jay Radio Network made a strategic move, signing a deal to broadcast exclusively on SiriusXM Channel 141, HUR Voices, becoming an integral part of the Howard University Radio Network Family. This transition was further solidified in July 2025 when HUR Voices also picked up “The Rubicon HealthCast,” leading to the combined offering now known as “Lance Jay Plus +.”
