O'Donnell's radio show gets start date

Her first broadcast is set for Monday. "Rosie Radio" is the Emmy Award-winning talk show host, movie star and stand-up comedienne's radio debut.

"Rosie is a singular, powerful voice with extraordinary appeal, and we are thrilled to be able to connect her with our subscribers every day on 'Rosie Radio,'" Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer for SIRIUS XM Radio, said in a statement. "Rosie is the perfect fit for the unbound creativity and possibilities of satellite radio."

"This is an exciting new adventure -- two hours of talk show entertainment, without having to wear makeup. Perfection," added O'Donnell. "I can't wait to jumpstart each day with millions of SIRIUS XM listeners across the country."
