Renowned sports talk personality Chris “Mad Dog” Russo joined SiriusXM in 2008 to headline the exclusive all-sports talk channel Mad Dog Sports Radio (Ch. 82).
Russo hosts the channel’s anchor program, Mad Dog Unleashed, LIVE from SiriusXM’s New York studios every weekday afternoon from 3 pm to 6 pm ET. The exclusive show features Russo’s take on the biggest sports stories from around the country and interviews with some of the most intriguing people in sports.
Now fans can watch on the SiriusXM app what you’ve been listening to since Russo joined the SiriusXM family. See exclusive video footage from inside Mad Dog’s studio.
In 2014, Russo joined MLB Network to host his first TV-based baseball talk show, High Heat with Christopher Russo, which launched on Opening Day.
High Heat features Russo’s signature energetic delivery and passionate opinions on all 30 MLB clubs, plus interviews with players, club personnel, baseball writers, and broadcasters.
Known for having helped popularise the sports talk radio format across the country, Russo is a fan favourite for his feisty, unflinchingly candid approach to talking sports, and the unrestrained, rapid-fire delivery earned him the nickname “Mad Dog.” He joined SiriusXM after nearly 20 years on New York radio where he represented one-half of the hugely popular Mike and the Mad Dog radio show.
Russo is the author of two books: The Mad Dog 100: The Greatest Sports Arguments Of All Time and, most recently, The Mad Dog Hall of Fame: The Ultimate Top-Ten Rankings of The Best In Sports.
