Damon Amendolara is sticking around the halls at SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio and NFL Radio. The morning show host joined the satellite radio company just two years ago, and is slated to continue his work hosting morning drive for the channel.
Terms were not disclosed to Barrett Media on the new agreement.
“It’s extremely rewarding to get the vote of confidence from SiriusXM to keep doing what we’re doing,” said Amendolara to Barrett Media. “It’s genuinely fun every morning I get to crack open the mic and work with Babs and the crew. There’s a unique and authentic chemistry that’s hard to fake. We’ve been lucky in that way. We really do like working together”
Amendolara joined Mad Dog Sports Radio’s morning lineup alongside co-host Mike Babchik in 2023, part of a shakeup that saw Evan Cohen leave SiriusXM for ESPN Radio. As part of the agreement, Amendolara will also continue hosting Mad Dog Sports Sunday ahead of the day’s NFL action.
“To be able to continue on NFL Radio is also incredible. My first sports memories are watching football on Sunday’s with my dad. To think I get to bring Sunday mornings to life with a Super Bowl champion like Robert Turbin, on the league’s channel, is a thrill,” said Amendolara to Barrett Media. “I’m lucky to have these opportunities.”
Before joining SiriusXM, Amendolara has been a leading voice in sports radio since 2017. He hosted The D.A. Show on the CBS Sports Radio Network, which reached an audience across 150 North American radio stations. Amendolara also has spent stints in several local markets and contributions to networks such as NFL Network, MLB Network, NFL Films, SNY, and NBC Sports Boston. He also served as the sideline reporter for Major League Soccer telecasts of the New England Revolution.
Co-host Mike Babchik has been a part of the SiriusXM team since 2008. He previously co-hosted the channel’s former morning show, Morning Men, since 2011.
With the new contract in place, Amendolara looks to continue building his established following with the SiriusXM platform moving forward with D.A and Babs. An entertaining brand of sports talk discussing the top stories in sports and pop culture. Including thoughtful yet fun breakdowns of the night in sports, calls from the show’s colorful listeners and incredible guests.
