Plenty of changes are coming to SiriusXM’s proprietary sports radio channel. On the same day that Evan Cohen announced he was leaving the morning show, news has broken that Danny Kannel and Dusty Dvoracek are leaving the channel too. They will be replaced by Michelle Beadle & Cody Decker.
“I’ve been an avid listener to Mad Dog Sports Radio for so long that getting the opportunity to join the lineup and talk all sports, every day, is as good as it gets,” Beadle said in a press release. “Cody is ok, too.”
Beadle & Decker will launch on August 22. The show will air every weekday from 12-3 pm.
“’Mad Dog’ is a name that’s been registering on the sports landscape Richter Scale for years. I’ve been a listener and fan since day one on SiriusXM,” Decker added. “Having the chance to share the airwaves with a daily lineup like this, not to mention to work with a cohost the caliber of Michelle, is something I had only dreamed of. After all these years, she FINALLY gets to work with a complete professional like me.”
Danny Kanell and Dusty Dvoracek are not leaving SiriusXM. While they are giving up their spot on Mad Dog Sports Radio, they will continue to host Dusty and Danny in the Morning on SiriusXM College Sports every weekday.
“Dusty and Danny are an excellent team, and they continue to be an important part of the SiriusXM family,” said SiriusXM’s VP of Sports Programming Eric Spitz. “Our listeners will continue to hear them regularly on SiriusXM College Sports Radio, sharing their insights into what’s happening on the field, as well as the many intriguing storylines happening now in college sports away from the field of play.”
