SiriusXM will reportedly be launching a Bleacher Report radio channel in the near future, possibly as soon as the beginning of September. Currently, Bleacher Report Radio is a daily show on Sirius Channel 92 that runs from 11-2 ET and is hosted by Jeff Rickard, featuring contributions from various writers. That show will expand into a new full-time channel in the vein of Mad Dog Radio and Sirius’ other offerings, reports Awful Announcing.
The Bleacher Report website is backed by Turner.
One source close to the situation indicated that talks had been ongoing between Sirius and Bleacher Report for the better part of a year regarding the launch of a B/R channel.
Just who will be a part of Bleacher Report Radio? Sources told Awful Announcing that names like Will Carroll, Ric Bucher, Josh Zerkle, and Dan Levy are in the mix to be regular hosts on the station.
We’ve reached out to Sirius XM for comment.
