Laugh Out Loud, the comedy brand and multi-platform network created by Kevin Hart and Lionsgate, and SiriusXM today announced an agreement to launch a new fulltime comedy channel with Hart, one of the top comedians working today. The channel extends the Laugh Out Loud brand to radio for the first time, reaching SiriusXM’s more than 32 million subscribers.

The new channel, which launches early next year, will feature a weekly show hosted by Hart. Considered one of the world’s top comedians, Hart will also handpick a selection of diverse comedic voices to create, produce and star on the channel’s wide range of comedy programming.

SiriusXM is the perfect partner to introduce a whole new audience to our Laugh Out Loud brand. The world will soon discover that – believe it or not – I’m even funnier on radio.”
