Starting Wednesday January 17th, Barstool Sports takes the plunge into becoming full time radio operators. The entertaining sports media brand will officially launch their own 24-hour radio channel on SiriusXM Power 85 by featuring live programming from 7a-7p ET.
In a post on Barstool’s website, “El Presidente” Dave Portnoy confirmed that the company is working on adding other shows which could lead to future lineup adjustments. For now though, the opening day/week lineup is set.
Among the notable additions helping launch the channel tomorrow are Willie Colon and Liz Gonzales. It’s been previously reported that Portnoy has talked to former WFAN morning host Craig Carton about joining the lineup. The company also employs other high profile talent such as Michael Rapaport, Dallas Braden and PFT Commenter. Whether or not they’ll be part of the channel’s future plans is unclear at this time.
