Changes are taking place at Bleacher Report Radio on SiriusXM. According to sources, a new deal has been reached which gives Sirius more control over programming and personnel matters. As a result, lineup adjustments are in progress. While nothing official has been released by SiriusXM, a few personalities have taken to Twitter to acknowledge that they have been shown the door.
Well let’s get this over with… Yesterday was my final show on SiriusXM Bleacher Report Radio. I was made aware of that after signing off.
