Smith Is Getting Murdered on 'Law & Order' and He Couldn't Be Happier Smith's new daily sports talk show for SiriusXM will air weekdays on Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82), delivering "his signature energy and unfiltered takes on the biggest headlines in sports," per the company. Smith's new show will join a daily Mad Dog Sports Radio lineup that features anchor program "Mad Dog Unleashed," hosted by Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo, who is also Smith's weekly "First Take" teammate on ESPN. Smith's second show for SiriusXM will be weekly, covering current events and pop culture. That will feature his "compelling discussions on everything beyond the world of sports," along with "high-profile guests" from the realms of sports, politics and more, according to the company. The show will air on a non-sports SiriusXM channel, to be announced later. Smith announced the deal Wednesday morning on SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show." "To say that I'm excited would be an understatement," Smith said. "I've been on Mad Dog before, had the time of my life. So I'm loving the fact that I get to reunite with my guy, Mad Dog, on his turf. That, in itself, is a beautiful thing. But to then add a weekly show where I have a potent platform to discuss riveting subjects in the world of pop culture, politics and social commentary… Let's just say it doesn't get any better than that. September can't come soon enough. It's been a long time since I've been in radio… especially going back and forth with the callers. Can't wait to get re-started. Buckle up! I'm coming!" Smith's Mad Dog Sports Radio show will debut Sept. 2, and the current events and pop-culture show will debut in September on a date to be announced. Both will give listeners "a chance to engage directly with Smith," according to SiriusXM. As part of the agreement, Smith also is set to host multiple in-person SiriusXM subscriber events during the year. "Stephen A. is a singular talent and one of the most influential voices in media today," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's president and chief content officer, in a statement. "While so many people know him for his unparalleled sports commentary, his interests extend far beyond the borders of sports and into the worlds of politics, news, entertainment and so much more. SiriusXM gives him the unfiltered creative freedom to delve into any topic and allows him to showcase his unique talents and perspectives." Smith is a featured commentator and executive producer on ESPN's "First Take" weekday mornings, with a cast that includes Molly Qerim and Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo. Since 2021 Smith has been an analyst on "NBA Countdown," ESPN and ABC's long-standing NBA pregame show. Smith has hosted radio shows for ESPN and Fox Sports Radio. He began his career as a print journalist, first as a reporter with the Winston-Salem Journal, the Greensboro News & Record and the New York Daily News. He then moved to the Philadelphia Inquirer and served as that paper's NBA beat writer and NBA columnist, before becoming a general sports columnist, in a gig spanning 17 years. In 2023 Smith released his New York Times bestseller "Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes." SEE ALSO:Jon Rosen Helped Stephen A. Smith Nail a Complex Deal With ESPN.
