NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
announced today that host Michael
Smerconish will moderate a forum with the Libertarian
Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, Governors
Gary Johnson and William Weld. The live, one-hour conversation
will air on SiriusXM P.O.T.U.S. channel 124 on Monday, September 12 at 10:00 am ET.
Smerconish will sit down with the candidates at the National
Constitution Center in Philadelphia, where he'll lead the discussion
before a live studio audience of SiriusXM subscribers. With only
two months to go before the nation casts its votes on November 8, both Governors Johnson and Weld will
field questions about the hot-button issues of the presidential
campaign as well as why voters should consider supporting the
Libertarian ticket. The audience of SiriusXM subscribers will also
have the unique opportunity to speak directly with the
candidates.
"As we've proven throughout the 2016 election cycle, SiriusXM is
committed to leading informative conversations with the
presidential hopefuls and giving our subscribers direct access to
the candidates," said Dave Gorab, Vice President and
General Manager, Talk Programming. "Michael
Smerconish is the perfect host to have a frank conversation
with the Johnson-Weld campaign about both foreign and domestic
issues, as well as how they plan to impact the race. It should be a
fascinating hour of live radio."
