New York: In a bold move that underscores how podcasts and talk radio are redefining news media, Megyn Kelly has inked a multi-year deal with SiriusXM to launch her own dedicated channel.
Starting November 4, 2025, “The Megyn Kelly Channel” will take over channel 111 on SiriusXM.
What’s in the Deal?
- Kelly’s flagship show, The Megyn Kelly Show, will still premiere live on her new channel before being released as a podcast.
- The channel will offer exclusive new programming, specials, and a daily after-show just for SiriusXM listeners.
- The channel takeover means that programming from the existing Triumph channel (then on channel 111) will be moved to channel 123.
Kelly framed the shift as part of a broader media trend:
“Linear television news is dead. People can’t stand those stilted, censored conversations anymore … I’m thrilled to deliver our bold brand of no-B.S. news live on SiriusXM.”
This deal builds on Kelly’s earlier push into independent media: she launched her media company, Devil May Care Media, in 2020 and began hosting The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM in 2021.

Why This Move Matters (For Podcasts & Radio)
- A bigger presence, not just a show
Moving from being a show on a channel to owning a full 24/7 channel gives Kelly creative control over the full schedule, branding, and content mix.
- Cross-platform reach
Her show will still appear later as a podcast, and video versions will go on YouTube — offering multiple access points for her audience.
- Exclusive content as a differentiator
The addition of after-shows and specials makes the channel more than just a rebroadcast of her podcast — it becomes a live experience.
- Monetization & branding strength
A full channel allows better integration of sponsors, partnerships, and original series — all under Kelly’s brand umbrella.
- Reflection of podcast/audio evolution
As more audiences shift from TV to on-demand or streaming audio, personalities like Kelly are betting big on owning their own corner of the airwaves.
The Growth of “The Megyn Kelly Show”
Since 2021, The Megyn Kelly Show has grown from a weekly podcast into one of the more influential political/cultural programs in independent media.
- It regularly hosts high-profile guests: politicians, journalists, and media figures.
- The show also has strong video traction, with millions of views on YouTube.
- Kelly’s media expansion is more than a one-show effort: in 2025, she launched MK Media, her own podcast/content network.
Leadership Moves & Team Strengthening
Kelly is also strengthening internal leadership. Recently, Hope Hicks (former White House communications director) joined Devil May Care Media as COO, overseeing operations and expansion strategy.
This isn’t just a content expansion — it’s a media business scaling up.
What to Watch Next
- New shows & specials: Kelly and SiriusXM will announce more programming in the coming weeks.
- Audience reaction & ratings: Will listeners follow her to a dedicated channel, or will there be drop-off?
- Advertising & sponsorship opportunities: A full channel opens doors for new revenue streams.
- Synergies with MK Media: Her podcast network and new channel may share content, cross-promote, or integrate.
- Live events & tours: Kelly has already announced a “Megyn Kelly LIVE” tour across 10 U.S. cities.

For her fans, it promises more content, more exclusives, and a deeper connection. For the broader podcast and media world, it’s a case study in how personalities can scale out of single shows and into full-channel brands.
