SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio has announced that it will air the Babchik’s Morning After program to 6 a.m. EST Saturdays on Mad Dog Sports Radio. The show re-airs at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Saturdays as well. Mike Babchik, who has worked at SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio since the launch of the channel in 2008, hosts the program reviewing everything that has taken place on its airwaves over the week. The show previously aired one hour later on the channel; however, it has been moved coinciding with the addition of Patrick McEnroe’s new tennis show, titled Holding Court, available on SiriusXM satellite radio and the app.
During the weekday programming hours, Babchik is part of the four-hour morning drive show with Damon Amendolara that airs at 6 a.m. EST. Before he started hosting with Amendolara, he was working on the Morning Men show for parts of three years with Evan Cohen and Willie Colon. Babchik was a producer for the first show in the history of the station hosted by Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo.
Babchik’s weekend show explores the intersection of sports, pop culture and entertainment through discussions about a variety of topics pertaining to the station and other issues at large. In an interview with Barrett Sports Media last year, he articulated that the culture of the station begins with Russo, who goes about excoriating the station lineup on his show. Babchik also conveyed that there is synergy with midday host Cody Decker that he believes has turned into “a beautiful rivalry.”
Babchik has been working with Amendolara on the morning program, titled The D.A. Show with Babchik, since October 2023, and the program broadcast from Media Row in Las Vegas ahead of Super Bowl LVIII last February. The morning show ranked No. 19 on the BSM Top 20 list for national sports radio shows last year.
