NEW YORK, July 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced
today its comprehensive live coverage of the Republican and
Democratic National Conventions as well as a wide-variety of
political programming across a broad-range of its news, talk and
entertainment channels.
"SiriusXM's coverage of the 2016 political conventions will be
broad, diverse, and unmatched in the audio space," said
Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM President
and Chief Content Officer. "Regardless of political
persuasion, SiriusXM listeners will have choices like never before
to hear every minute of each convention along with sharp political
analysis and opinion across an unprecedented number of channels on
our platform."
Beginning Monday, July 18th for
the Republican National Convention and Monday, July 25th for the Democratic National
Convention, SiriusXM will transform its non-partisan P.O.T.U.S.
(Politics of The United States)
channel into "Convention Radio" -- featuring uninterrupted, gavel
to gavel coverage from the convention floor. P.O.T.U.S
channel hosts including Tim Farley,
Michael Smerconish, Julie Mason, Michael
Steele, and Rick Ungar will
broadcast from each convention city, with White House Correspondent
Jared Rizzi reporting live from the convention floor.
"Convention Radio" will also feature special programming with key
news, politics, and entertainment brands including Olivier Knox from Yahoo News; Variety; Politico;
The Wall Street Journal; The Hill; Real Clear Politics, and a
special with the hosts of the new SHOWTIME series The Circus:
Inside The Greatest Political Show on Earth. The weekend
before the opening gavel in Cleveland and Philadelphia, P.O.T.U.S. will present "Prelude
to The Convention," featuring historic moments from past
conventions, expert analysis on convention rules and protocol, a
preview of the week ahead, and special panel discussions.
On Friday, July 15th at
1 pm ET, P.O.T.U.S. also broadcasts
the first of a special six-show series with former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. Kelly's premiere episode will
focus on "Securing a Convention." As NYC Police Commissioner,
Kelly was responsible for the security preparations in New York for the 2004 Republican National
Convention.
Convention Radio in each city is joined by a wide-ranging suite
of content including special coverage on SiriusXM news channels
