The legendary Packers QB will make his debut on SiriusXM NFL Radio on August 5 at 6 p.m. ET, with a special “Town Hall”-style show live from Canton, Ohio, where he and other members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2016 will be enshrined the next day. Following the show’s launch, Favre will host a series of hour-long live broadcasts throughout the coming NFL season, beginning on a regular basis in September. He and co-host Bruce Murray will discuss the headline news happening around the NFL, analyze the league’s teams and players, and Favre will share his experiences from his career and his life since retiring.
Steve Cohen, SiriusXM’s SVP of Sports Programming, said, “Brett was a once-in-a-generation player. His career, and particularly the enthusiasm with which he played the game, enthralled all football fans. His passion and free-spirited personality are perfect for radio. We are thrilled to have him make his debut on SiriusXM NFL Radio and we’re excited to give our listeners access to the insight and expertise of one of the greatest players to ever play the game. His debut show in Canton, and every show after, will be must-listen radio.”
From 1995 through 1997, Favre won three straight NFL MVP Awards after leading the Packers to three consecutive NFC championship games, resulting in two Super Bowl appearances, including a 35-21 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI. He retired after the 2010 season.
