SIRIUS XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) announced today that Bobby Flay, the renowned chef, restaurateur, award-winning cookbook author and television personality, will host Bobby Flay Radio, an exclusive five-week series of live call-in shows on which he will explore the essentials of good living for men of all ages and backgrounds.
“I love the energy and fast, fun pace of live radio and look forward to interacting with SIRIUS XM’s listeners and sharing my philosophies for living life to the fullest,” said Flay. “With the right attitude and a few key ingredients every guy out there can enjoy the good life — no matter what.”
“Bobby Flay’s talent, innovation and passion for food and life have transformed American cuisine, won rave reviews, and extend well beyond the kitchen,” said Jeremy Coleman, SVP, Talk and Entertainment Programming, SIRIUS XM Radio. “His natural style, humor and ability to inform and entertain make him the perfect fit for SIRIUS XM. Bobby Flay Radio is an exciting new venture for us and for his millions of fans.”
A diehard sports fan, Flay will welcome his longtime friend and sports consultant “Larry K” on the air to make predictions and riff on their favorite teams and players. On each show Flay will construct the “simple sandwich of the week” in studio and share the recipe for the perfect culinary complement to the week’s big games. Flay’s wife actress Stephanie March will also join the mix and add the woman’s perspective to the guy talk. In addition, March will contribute “The Culture Hour in a Minute,” a short attention span wrap-up of the week’s current events and entertainment news.
