SiriusXM Canada presents Canadian election special "Everything is Political: Campaign 2015"

TORONTO, Oct. 20, 2015 /CNW/ - SiriusXM Canada (TSX: XSR), the country's leading audio entertainment company, today announced Canadian election results coverage on SiriusXM Canada Talks (channel 167) with a three-hour special broadcast Everything is Political: Campaign 2015. The post-election special will air from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST on Tuesday, October 20 and will be co-hosted by veteran broadcasters and SiriusXM personalities Evan Solomon and Arlene Bynon who will review election results riding-by-riding and talk with guests and experts from across the political spectrum.

"Once Canadians exit the polls and the results are tallied, we expect some very interesting discussion and analysis related to the most historic federal election campaign we've seen in a long time," said Joe Thistel, Director of Talk and Sports Programming, SiriusXM Canada. "Evan and Arlene bring massive experience to this discussion and will provide listeners with up-to-the-minute reactions from Canadians and the fall-out across each political party in their election results analysis and they'll be joined in-studio and through call-ins from the field by expert political insiders and opinion-makers."

Evan Solomon has covered federal and provincial politics for more than 15 years - as well as some of Canada's biggest news stories of the time - from 9/11 to the recent attack on Canada's Parliament. Solomon brings a depth of experience and credibility that drove his CBC Radio show "The House" to close to one million listeners each week. As well, his television program "Power and Politics" was the highest-rated original show on CBC News Network.

Arlene Bynon hosts The Arlene Bynon Show on SiriusXM Canada's Canada Talks (channel 167) and has amassed an enviable range of interview subjects through her broadcasting career.
