Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo has signed a new three-year contract to keep his unique brand of sports talk radio exclusively on SiriusXM.
Russo will continue to host his daily all-sports show, Mad Dog Unleashed, every weekday (3p-6p ET) on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio channel. Mad Dog Sports Radio, which Russo launched on SiriusXM in 2008, is available to listeners nationwide on channel 82 on satellite radios and on the SiriusXM app.
“I am proud of what Mad Dog Sports Radio has become and continue to believe this is the best place in all of radio,” said Russo. “After 30 years of broadcasting, my excitement to come to work every day and talk sports with all of America is as strong as ever due to the freedom SiriusXM provides. So stay tuned, America. There’s plenty of bark left in the Doggie!”
“Mad Dog Sports Radio is simply the best all-sports talk radio channel in the country. Chris helped develop the channel eight years ago and remains one of the most compelling and respected voices in all of sports media,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “He is truly a one-of-a-kind talent, a sports radio legend, and we’re very pleased to have him on SiriusXM for years to come.”
