TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - Today SiriusXM announced the launch of a new original comedy channel, Team Coco Radio. Executive produced by Conan O'Brien, the channel will feature exclusive audio content as well as select Team Coco podcasts, including the tremendously popular Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Team Coco Radio will debut on November 15 exclusively on SiriusXM channel 106.
Available 24/7, Team Coco Radio will be the home to Conan's unique combination of smart and silly comedy. All day long listeners will hear the biggest interviews and the funniest stand-up moments from Conan's iconic TBS show, as well as select Team Coco podcasts, including Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, plus Inside Conan and Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan. Fresh commentary from Conan will also be weaved throughout the programming, as he recalls funny behind-the-scenes stories and other entertaining and insightful anecdotes.
"Finally, a use of satellite technology that in no way benefits mankind," said Conan O'Brien.
"We're thrilled that Conan will be executive producing a brand new comedy channel exclusively for SiriusXM," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer. "What makes this channel special is that our listeners will be able to hear from Conan himself, as he shares his favourite memories and takes listeners into his thought process, truly making Team Coco Radio a treasure trove for anyone who appreciates great comedy."
Team Coco Radio is also expected to roll out original programs, as well as events hosted by Conan, including musical performances.
In May SiriusXM announced that it had acquired Team Coco. As part of the transaction, Conan entered into a five-year talent agreement with SiriusXM under which he will remain host of his namesake podcast, which continues to be available widely and is produced by Team Coco staff.
