Forget a daily sports talk show, Bleacher Report is getting its own channel on SiriusXM.
The two media companies today announced the upcoming launch of “SiriusXM Bleacher Report Radio,” a new satellite radio channel debuting on Sept. 2.
Airing on Sirius channel 93, XM channel 208, and available to subscribers via the SiriusXM Internet Radio App, “Bleacher Report Radio” will feature a daily lineup of shows hosted by Will Carroll, King Kaufman, Dan Levy and Josh Zerkle, Kirk Morrison and Nicole Zaloumis, among others.
