The Ed Rollins Show launches June 7, 2009 and will air from 1:00 - 2:00 pm ET every Sunday through June 28, 2009 exclusively on SIRIUS XM's P.O.T.U.S channel, SIRIUS channel 110 and XM channel 130. Topics and guests will span the worlds of politics, health care, business, the economy and beyond.

Ed Rollins has orchestrated a number of the most colorful and storied political campaigns in our country's history, including President Reagan's 1984 landslide presidential re-election victory. He served four United States Presidents including Nixon, Ford, and Reagan. In 1981 he ran the White House Office of Political Affairs and the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and was Deputy Chief of Staff. He is also a frequent television commentator and appears regularly on CNN. He is Senior Presidential Fellow at the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency at Hofstra University.

P.O.T.U.S. was originally created to offer unprecedented unfiltered coverage of the 2008 presidential election and has evolved into SIRIUS XM Radio's channel dedicated to "Politics of the United States," taking listeners inside politics from every perspective.

SIRIUS XM's P.O.T.U.S. channel bridges the gap between the politics of the White House and the issues that matter most to Americans, broadcasting an independent forum for political news and discussion. Broadcasting live from Washington, DC and New York, P.O.T.U.S tells the story of American politics with unbiased news programs, live coverage of major political events inside and outside the beltway, and on-air commentary from listeners that shape political discussion throughout the day with exclusive news and talk shows hosted by Joe Mathieu, Tim Farley and Pete Dominick.
