Chris "Mad Dog" Russo has spent the past 20 years bringing his feisty, hard-hitting brand of sports talk to WFAN on the Mike and the Mad Dog show, which remained at the top of the ratings book throughout it’s time.
On August 19, 2008, Russo signed a five-year contract with Sirius XM Radio to headline a new sports talk channel called Mad Dog Radio on both Sirius and XM satellite radio. His show, Mad Dog Unleashed, airs live from SIRIUS’ New York studios every weekday afternoon from 2:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. The program features Russo’s take on the biggest sport stories, while engaging many prominent sports personalities with hard-hitting interviews.
Chris earned the nickname “Mad Dog” for his outspoken views and rapid fire delivery. Chris’ resume includes jobs with WKIS in Orlando and WMCA in New York where he served as the morning sports anchor and weekend sports talk host. He teamed up with former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason to host In the Huddle, a nationally syndicated radio show previewing each week’s pro football line-up.
A graduate of Rollins College, Chris lives in Connecticut with his family.
