Mad Dog Radio Welcomes The Beadle & Decker Show

SiriusXM has announced the launch of a brand-new daily show on its acclaimed Mad Dog Sports Radio channel. Starting Tuesday, August 22, popular media personality Michelle Beadle and former major leaguer Cody Decker will host Beadle & Decker every weekday in the channel’s noon-3pm ET/9 am – noon PT timeslot.

Mad Dog Sports Radio is SiriusXM’s exclusive all-sports talk channel and is available to listeners nationwide in their cars (channel 82) and on the SXM App.

“I’ve been an avid listener to Mad Dog Sports Radio for so long that getting the opportunity to join the lineup and talk all sports, everyday, is as good as it gets,” said Beadle. “Cody is ok, too.”

“’Mad Dog’ is a name that’s been registering on the sports landscape Richter Scale for years. I’ve been a listener and fan since day one on SiriusXM,” said Decker. “Having the chance to share the airwaves with a daily lineup like this, not to mention to work with a cohost the caliber of Michelle, is something I had only dreamed of. After all these years, she FINALLY gets to work with a complete professional like me.”
