Overview

  • Stephen A. Smith signed a multi-year agreement with SiriusXM and announced the deal on Howard Stern Show on June 4, 2025.
  • His daily sports talk show will air weekdays from 1–3 p.m. ET on Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82), debuting Sept. 2 and replacing the current “Beadle and Decker” slot.
  • A second weekly program covering current events, pop culture and social commentary will premiere in September on a non-sports channel, with its exact debut date to be announced.
  • Michelle Beadle and Cody Decker learned of the lineup change only hours before it was made public, leaving Beadle feeling embarrassed and blindsided.
  • The SiriusXM deal follows Smith’s five-year, $100 million extension with ESPN signed in March, underscoring his expanding influence across sports and media.
