Chicago radio’s Jonathan Hood will be gaining a great deal of national exposure starting next week. Hood has accepted an offer to join SiriusXM satellite radio. He will be a regular co-host of the NBA Radio channel’s daily show “Above The Rim.”
SiriusXM’s “Above the Rim” airs each weekday morning from 9:00am-11:00am (Central). Hood will begin working on the show, as of next Monday, March 16th. He will remain based out of Chicago.
Hood will host the show with a rotating roster of co-hosts, including Malik Rose (television announcer with the Philadelphia 76ers), Mark Boyle (radio announcer with the Indiana Pacers), Joel Meyers (television announcer with the New Orleans Pelicans), and Vinny Del Negro (former Chicago Bulls Coach, currently an analyst with NBA TV).
Regarding his new job, Hood tells CRM: “I love watching the story lines of the NBA and can’t wait to get started. This is truly a blessing for me.”
Along with his SiriusXM duties, Hood will continue to be a regular presence at WMVP-AM/ESPN 1000, where he hosts Chicago GameNight each weeknight from 7:00pm-10:00pm (when not preempted by live sports), as well as the Chicago Bulls post-game shows.
Additionally, Hood will continue to co-host his national ESPN Radio show, “Dickerson and Hood,” which is heard on Saturday nights from 6:00pm-10:00pm.
