One year after relaunching “Fight Nation” (channel 156) as “Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7“, SiriusXM will revamp the channel on Monday, July 27 as “WWE Radio“.
As part of the relaunch, the channel will begin live radio broadcasts of WWE’s premium live events starting with SummerSlam on August 1 and 2 with radio exclusive commentary from Vic Joseph and Booker T. Select other events will also be broadcast on the channel.
“WWE Radio” will continue to be anchored by SiriusXM’s flagship wrestling show “Busted Open” hosted byu Dave LaGreca and featuring former WWE performers Bully Ray, Mark Henry, and Nic Nemeth from 9am to 12pm weekdays. Other shows will include Sam Roberts’ ““Notsam Wrestling Live”, Peter Rosenburg’s “Cheap Heat Live”, “The Hart Beat with Natalya”, “Off the Ropes” and “Busted Open After Dark”. The channel will also carry WWE produced podcasts daily at 4pm.
WWE EVP Alex Varga commented, ““The WWE Universe is always looking for new ways to engage with WWE, and our partnership with SiriusXM will deliver exclusive access, original programming and live event coverage that brings fans closer to the action wherever they are.”
SiriusXM SVP/Sports Programming, Content Marketing, and Partnerships Jared Fox said, “We are thrilled to team up with WWE to launch the most comprehensive wrestling audio platform in the industry. By bringing together SiriusXM’s live pro wrestling programming with WWE’s world-class events, we are delivering an unmatched, 24/7 home for the WWE Universe, giving fans a way to tune in to every match and stay connected with every storyline, from anywhere they want to listen.”
