WFAN and other Audacy stations joining SiriusXM

For years, there was speculation about whether Chris "Mad Dog" Russo would ever return to WFAN, but in a surprising turn of events, it's WFAN that will be joining SiriusXM.

The Athletic's Andrew Marchand reported the news Tuesday morning, sharing that WFAN and 41 other Audacy-owned radio stations will soon be available on SiriusXM. In addition to WFAN, Philadelphia's WIP, Boston's WEEI and Chicago's The Score are among the local sports stations included in the SiriusXM agreement. According to Marchand, the partnership, which will see Audacy receive a licensing fee, is expected to begin Sept. 1.
