SiriusXM announced today that popular sports media personality Katie Nolan will headline a new live daily call-in show on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio channel. Debuting today, September 2, “Fan Service with Katie Nolan” is Katie’s first live show, a daily fan-driven hour of radio created by a sports fan, for all sports fans to share in the joys and miseries of sports fandom.
“Fan Service” will serve as an hour-long hotline for sports fans across the country to share their takes, celebrate their teams, ask questions, and air grievances. Every day from noon-1pm ET, Nolan will open up the phone lines to take fans’ calls on any and every aspect of sports fans’ experience.
“Sports fandom is inherently about community, and I wanted to create a space where we can foster that,” said Nolan. “SiriusXM has already helped me welcome more fans into sports through my podcast “Casuals,” and now with “Fan Service” I’m excited to interact with that community in real time. Being a sports fan is a complex experience, and I’m dying to talk about it.”
In the Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82) weekday lineup, Katie will immediately follow “Schein on Sports,” hosted by Adam Schein (weekdays from 9 am-noon ET), and will lead into “The Stephen A. Smith Show” (weekdays from 1-3 pm ET) and “Mad Dog Unleashed,” hosted by channel headliner Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo (weekdays from 3-6 pm ET).
The new daily show expands her presence on SiriusXM following the launch of her twice-weekly SiriusXM podcast, “Casuals,” in January. “Casuals” prioritizes covering the entertaining and cultural side of sports over the in-depth X’s and O’s talk and statistical breakdowns that can feel like a barrier to entry for many fans. Katie will continue to record new episodes of the “Casuals” podcast twice a week, which are available to listeners wherever they get their podcasts.
“Katie is an exceptionally versatile talent and brings a unique voice to the Mad Dog Sports Radio lineup, connecting with those fans who are as interested in what goes on outside the lines as much as what happens on the field,” said Jared Fox, SVP, Sports Programming, Content Marketing & Partnerships, and Artist Relations for SiriusXM. “We’re thrilled to expand her presence on our platform. She’ll interact with our SiriusXM listeners live every weekday on Mad Dog Sports Radio and continue developing compelling content on ‘Casuals’ that reaches a broader podcast audience.”
A dynamic and singular talent, Nolan is known for her sharp, irreverent, and highly knowledgeable voice in sports, culture and beyond. Katie was a standout contestant on Celebrity Jeopardy!, where she earned a spot in the finals. She also co-hosted the limited series podcast “91st Minute” about the 2023 Women’s World Cup for Just Women’s Sports. Previously, Katie served as a commentator in the booth for Friday Night Baseball for Apple TV+, and worked as a correspondent for NBC Sports during the 2022 Winter Olympics, appearing across all NBC Sports platforms and The TODAY Show. From 2017-2021, Nolan was at ESPN, serving as a television, streaming and podcast host across various programs and platforms, including her own weekly sports comedy show, “Always Late with Katie Nolan.” Before joining ESPN, she was at Fox Sports 1, where her show “Garbage Time with Katie Nolan” won a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Social TV Experience. In addition, Nolan hosted “NFL Films Presents,” provided content for FoxSports.com and was one of the original hosts on “Crowd Goes Wild” alongside Regis Philbin.
