The channel will broadcast clips from its slate of talk shows as well as segments of future stand-up specials yet to make their Netflix debut.

Netflix Is A Joke Radio on SiriusXM will be an audio extension of our award winning stand-up comedy on Netflix,” Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said in a statement. “We are thrilled to feature some of the greatest and funniest performers in the world with highlights from Netflix shows as well as original programming that further celebrates the art of comedy, and we are excited to do this in partnership with SiriusXM.”

The SiriusXM exclusive channel also has plans to introduce an original daily show featuring celebrity guests and comedians discussing hot tops and pop culture trends. The program will be recorded from SiriusXM‘s Los Angeles studios.
