Steven A. Smith To Host Two SXM Shows
Beginning Sept. 2, Smith will host and executive produce a new sports talk show that will air weekdays on Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82), joining a daily Mad Dog Sports Radio lineup that features the anchor program, Mad Dog Unleashed, hosted by the channel headliner and Smith’s weekly First Take teammate on ESPN, Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo.
Smith will also create and host a weekly current events, pop culture and social commentary-focused show that will air on a non-sports SiriusXM channel, launch date and channel TBA. As part of the agreement, Smith will also host multiple in-person SiriusXM subscriber events during the year.
“To say that I’m excited would be an understatement,” Smith said. “I’ve been on Mad Dog before, had the time of my life. So I’m loving the fact that I get to reunite with my guy, Mad Dog, on his turf. That, in itself, is a beautiful thing. But to then add a weekly show where I have a potent platform to discuss riveting subjects in the world of Pop Culture, Politics and Social Commentary… let’s just say it doesn’t get any better than that. September can’t come soon enough. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in radio… especially going back and forth with the callers. Can’t wait to get re-started. Buckle Up! I’m coming!”
