Andy Cohen Inks SiriusXM Three-Year Deal Renewal, Expands to Daily Radio Show

Publish date: 2024-05-13

SiriusXM inked a three-year contract extension with TV/radio host and producer Andy Cohen, under which the pop-culture maven’s “Andy Cohen Live” will expand from a weekly to a five-days-per-week show — and his Radio Andy channel will expand its programming lineup with shows from other personalities.

Cohen, the creator and content curator of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy (channel 102), will continue to host “Andy Cohen Live,” which — starting Nov. 14 — will now air Mondays through Fridays from 10-11 a.m. ET exclusively on the subscription audio service.

In addition, “Smith Sisters Live,” hosted by Lauren, Rachel and Mariah Smith, will go from weekly to daily, airing Mondays through Fridays at 9 a.m. ET (leading into “Andy Cohen Live”) starting in January 2023. “Smith Sisters Live” features the trio of entertainment superfan siblings taking a deep dive into the biggest trending pop-culture stories and the greatest (and worst) moments from reality TV and beyond.
