DirecTV has plans to turn sports talk radio on its ear. They plan to launch ‘Nick and Artie Show’, a manic, late-night look at the world of sports and entertainment from the perspective of two fans, who also happen to be hilarious stand-up comedians. This DirecTV produced and distributed show will feature Artie Lange, best known for his work on MADtv and the Howard Stern Show, and Nick DiPaolo, who has made frequent appearances on the Stern.

This show currently airs Monday through Friday from 10p.m. to 1 a.m. ET and is streamed live on the show’s website www.NickandArtie.com. Within the next year, DirecTV plans to simulcast the radio program on its Audience Network. This will air in addition to the popular The Dan Patrick Show which also began its simulcast on DirecTV in 2009. “’The Nick and Artie Show’ will be a hilarious, man-tacular departure from the standard sports talk radio format,” said Chris Long, senior vice president, DIRECTV Entertainment and Production. “Assuming they don’t get arrested, we’re looking forward to simulcasting the show on our Audience Network this spring.”

Artie Lange is best known for his role with The Howard Stern Show and dozens of comedy sketches on MADtv. Nick DiPaolo is known for his seething, sarcastic style and has performed on a wide range of shows, including ‘The Tonight Show’, HBO’s ‘Young Comedians Special’, ‘Late Night with David Letterman’ and ‘Conan O’Brien’. Don’t miss these two interesting characters team up on live radio simulcast exclusively by DirecTV.
