NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced today that Jess Cagle, award-winning entertainment journalist and former editor of People and Entertainment Weekly, will host The Jess Cagle Show, exclusively on SiriusXM starting this fall.

"As a magazine editor, I've done a lot of work with SiriusXM," said Jess Cagle, "and the producers and executives there have been magnificent partners—smart, strategic and innovative. Over the years SiriusXM has become a kind of second home to me, and I've always wanted to do a news and talk show with a lot of humor, smart commentary, and in-depth interviews. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to make that a reality, and excited to work with SiriusXM on their growing podcast and video content. I'm also a longtime fan of Julia Cunningham, and am really looking forward to working with her every day."
