The show, called Nikki Haley Live, will debut at 8 a.m. ET on Sept. 25.
This will be Haley’s first radio show, and it will feature not only her analysis and guest interviews, but even music and entertainment.
Video of the show also will be available on the SiriusXM app, and the show will be available on major podcast platforms after its premiere.
Vivek Ramaswamy, another GOP contender, signed to host a five-episode series for Fox Nation, set to debut on Sunday.
In a statement, Haley said, “The American people are smart. They’re sick of distractions in DC and noise from the mainstream media. They want to know what the issues are and how the solutions will impact them. I’m excited to partner with SiriusXM on a show that breaks down the policies and empowers them with the facts”
Other hostrs on Triumph Channel include Megyn Kelly, Dr. Laura, Nancy Grace, Dave Ramsey and Glenn Beck.
Haley spoke at the Republican National Convention in July, endorsing Trump even though she was the focus of his sharp attacks, calling her “bird brain.” During the primary, Haley had said that Trump was “unhinged,” and predicted Republicans would lose if he was the nominee. After Trump mocked the fact that her husband was not on the campaign trail with her — he actually was on an active duty deployment, Haley said that Trump was “not qualified” to be president because of his disrespect for the military.
