In addition to featuring chart-topping music each week, Sixx spotlights new and emerging artists, talks with guests from all areas of entertainment, and shares his personal new music picks.
Sixx stated, "Los Angeles has been my home since the days even before MÖTLEY CRÜE, so I am beyond excited that 'The Side Show' has found a home at 98-7fm. This is the station I listen to — my friends listen to it, my family listens to it. It's the station I wanted to be on and I'm psyched to get started."
Jennifer Leimgruber, SVP of programming for Premiere Radio Networks, stated, "The debut of 'The Side Show with Nikki Sixx' on 98-7fm is a major milestone. When you've got a great host and a great show, you want to share it with the people you know will love it. 98-7fm is one of the most-listened-to Alternative Rock radio stations in the country, so we are excited to connect with this expansive lifestyle audience every week.”
98-7fm Program Director Julie Pilat says, "'The Side Show with Nikki Sixx' is a great fit for us. Nikki is super creative and passionate about music and his show, PLUS he's homegrown here in L.A. The audience will really relate to him. At 98-7 we are all about trying new things and offering innovative programming, so we are excited to be able to bring this show to our listeners on Saturday mornings."
