Andy Cohen is sticking with SiriusXM, inking a new deal with the satellite radio giant for his flagship daily show Andy Cohen Live and his Radio Andy channel.
Cohen has become a staple of the service with his pop culture news and analysis and his newsmaking celebrity interviews. He also played a practical joke on the media and many of his colleague Howard Stern‘s listeners last week, taking over Stern’s channel to declare that it would be rebranded “Andy 100,” fooling the AP, among other media outlets.
Stern is still holding talks with the company about his own future, though he indicated that he would like to cut a new deal.
The new deal with SiriusXM means that Cohen will remain an accessible pop culture force in households for years to come, with his Bravo late night show Watch What Happens Live having recently been renewed through 2027, and NBCUniversal extending his first look deal through 2028.
“I feel incredibly lucky to have a home at SiriusXM that’s allowed me to build a destination for pop culture and fun, featuring talent that I love and admire,” said Cohen in a statement. “SiriusXM appreciates talent, and I appreciate them!”
“We’re incredibly proud to celebrate 10 years of Radio Andy and even more excited that Andy will continue to be a vital part of the SiriusXM family,” added Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM president and chief content officer. “Over the past decade, the channel has evolved into a truly unique destination—a vibrant home for pop culture enthusiasts who come for the bold, live, and unfiltered energy that only Radio Andy delivers.”
