SiriusXM inks radio and television host Andy Cohen to a three-year contract extension. Cohen, the creator and content curator of SiriusXM's Radio Andy (channel 102), will continue to host "Andy Cohen Live," which airs Mondays and Wednesdays, through 2022. The renewal will also keep the Radio Andy channel's suite of programs including "Jeff Lewis Live," "Bevelations with Bevy Smith," "Dan Rather's America," "Reality Checked with Amy Phillips," "Sandyland with Sandra Bernhard" and others on-air for subscribers.

Over the past four years Andy Cohen has sat down with special guests for many news-making interviews on his channel. Past star-studded guests have included Jennifer Lawrence, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Calvin Klein, Selena Gomez, Monica Lewinsky, Gloria Vanderbilt, Dolly Parton, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Caitlyn Jenner, Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Donna Karan, Lindsay Lohan and John Mayer, among others.

"I love the freedom of radio, especially long form, uncensored interviews and the immediate connection with my audience. Building this channel into a platform to discuss everything from politics with Dan Rather to pop culture with Jeff Lewis has been an incredibly satisfying creative experience," said Cohen. "I'm grateful to have three more years to continue expressing the breadth of my passion and one channel up the dial from my radio hero, Howard Stern."

"Andy Cohen created a channel for us that hadn't been heard on radio before, and in only a short time it has routinely delivered news-making interviews and compelling conversation," added SiriusXM President/Chief Content Officer Scott Greenstein. "We are thrilled to have Andy Cohen staying in the SiriusXM family. He is an incredible interviewer and personality, and has developed a roster of original talent on his channel that have passionate followers amongst our audience nationwide."
