Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo
Russo hosts the channel’s anchor program, “Mad Dog Unleashed,” live from SiriusXM’s New York studios every weekday afternoon from 3:00 to 6:00pm ET. The exclusive show features Russo’s take on the biggest sports stories from around the country and interviews with some of the most intriguing people in sports. Russo’s on-air role at SiriusXM was recently expanded to include a significant presence on the MLB Network Radio channel on SiriusXM.
Russo also joined MLB Network in 2014 to host his first TV-based baseball talk show, High Heat with Christopher Russo.
Launched Opening Day 2014, High Heat features Russo's signature energetic delivery and passionate opinions on all 30 MLB clubs, plus interviews with players, club personnel, baseball writers and broadcasters.
Known for having helped popularize the sports talk radio format across the country, Russo is a fan favorite for his feisty, unflinchingly candid approach to talking sports and the unrestrained, rapid-fire delivery earned him the nickname “Mad Dog.” He joined SiriusXM after nearly 20 years on New York radio where he represented one half of the hugely popular Mike and the Mad Dog radio show.
He is the author of two books: The Mad Dog 100: The Greatest Sports Arguments Of All Time and, most recently, The Mad Dog Hall of Fame: The Ultimate Top-Ten Rankings of The Best In Sports. Follow Chris on Twitter @MadDogUnleashed.
