WWE Radio Plans SiriusXM Launch With SummerSlam Coverage
SiriusXM is launching WWE Radio, a dedicated WWE channel that will take over channel 156 on July 27 and replaces Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7, combining live audio coverage of WWE Premium Live Events with an expanded lineup of WWE and SiriusXM programming. The channel will provide live play-by-play for major WWE events such as WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, as well as select episodes of Raw, with Vic Joseph and Booker T handling the on-air calls at SummerSlam weekend. In addition to live events, WWE Radio will feature a robust slate of podcasts and shows including Cody Rhodes, The Undertaker, Steph McMahon, and Sam Roberts, alongside existing SiriusXM wrestling programs like Busted Open and Notsam Wrestling Live. Corporate executives from WWE and SiriusXM framed the partnership as creating the most comprehensive wrestling audio platform, designed to bring fans closer to the action no matter where they listen. The launch comes just ahead of SummerSlam, with on-site broadcasts planned from Minneapolis and a week-to-week schedule blending live event coverage with pre-event buildup and exclusive content. Several outlets report on the deal as a unification of WWE’s audio presence under one roof, emphasizing the strategic move to expand fan engagement across platforms.
