TORONTO – SiriusXM Canada and Postmedia are teaming up on a new daily show that promises to tackle the issues of the day with some of the smartest opinion-makers in the country.
National Post Radio, which launched May 11, is hosted by long-time National Post columnist and editor Matt Gurney and airs every weekday morning from 6:00 to 9:00 AM EST on SiriusXM's Canada Talks (channel 167). The show offers subscribers smart and authoritative debates, commentary and roundtables of hot topic discussion between Gurney and several of National Post's most notable voices including Andrew Coyne, Christie Blatchford, Terry Corcoran, John Ivison, Theresa Tedesco, Diane Francis, Scott Stinson and Cam Cole.
"Teaming up with such an established and respected brand as The National Post is very exciting for us," said John Lewis, SiriusXM Canada’s SVP programming and operations, in the news release. "Their readership of over 1.9 million across Canada paired with our subscriber base of nearly 2.6 million across the country makes for a favorable collaboration to which loyal audiences across both platforms will greatly benefit."
"Leveraging the strengths of our two media organizations allows National Post to extend the reach of some of Canada's favourite and most distinct voices to an international audio platform while providing SiriusXM with first-rate talent and content," added National Post editor Anne Marie Owens. “It is an exciting way to offer even more news enthusiasts access to our "right to the point" commentary."
As part of the agreement, Postmedia will have the opportunity to sell advertising sponsorships for the National Post radio program.
Satellite radio subscribers who add SiriusXM Internet Radio access to their subscription can also listen on the SiriusXM Internet Radio App and online.
