SiriusXM Adding WWE Channel With Live Coverage of Premium Events (Exclusive)
SiriusXM is launching a dedicated WWE Radio channel in partnership with the wrestling promotion, bringing live audio coverage of premium live events, select weekly shows and a range of related programming to the satellite radio service. The move gives WWE, owned by TKO, a deeper audio presence and lets SiriusXM position itself as a comprehensive home for wrestling content, timed to capitalise on interest ahead of one of WWE's biggest annual events.
WWE Radio takes over channel 156, previously home to Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7, from 27 July, just ahead of WWE SummerSlam, which will be broadcast live with commentary from Vic Joseph and Booker T. The channel will feature WWE-Fanatics podcasts hosted by figures including Cody Rhodes, The Undertaker and Steph McMahon, alongside existing SiriusXM wrestling shows such as Busted Open, Notsam Wrestling Live and Cheap Heat Live, with executives from both companies describing the tie-up as building the most comprehensive wrestling audio platform in the industry.
