Howard Stern is set for a reunion - of sorts - with his former sidekick Jackie (the Joke Man) Martling.

Insiders say Stern will announce on his show next week that Martling has scored his own program on Sirius, the satellite radio network Stern has called home since January.

"Martling's show will debut mid-October," says a source.

Stern and Martling parted ways on strained terms after 15 years in 2001, when the Joke Man couldn't reach a contract agreement with their mutual employer.

Martling said through his rep he has "no news" about a new radio show just yet.
