NEW YORK โ January 17, 2017 โ SiriusXM announced today the launch of Women In ฮ็านสำฦต, a live, call-in show airing exclusively on SiriusXM Road Dog channel 146. The weekly, two-hour show will premiere on Saturday, January 20 at 11:00 am ET.
Hosted by Ellen Voie, SiriusXMโs Women In ฮ็านสำฦต will feature listener call-ins and interviews with professionals from the trucking industry - from drivers, technicians, and engineers to transportation CEOs and dispatchers - sharing their stories of the challenges and opportunities of the open road.
Women In ฮ็านสำฦต, a show geared towards men and women listeners, will also address gender diversity issues pushing for more women to join its ranks. With women making up 7% of the trucking industry workforce, SiriusXMโs Women In ฮ็านสำฦต will help promote the employment of more women by identifying and removing the obstacles that keep them from entering the field.
โI am excited to host Women In ฮ็านสำฦต and to hear from SiriusXM listeners across the country,โ said Ellen Voie. โI look forward to hearing from both male and female drivers to open up a bold new dialogue about our industry and how we can move forward together.โ
โWe welcome Ellen Voie and our first, exclusive program dedicated to women in trucking,โ said Dave Gorab, Vice President and General Manager of Talk Programming, SiriusXM. โAt a time when women are increasingly joining the trucking industry, we are pleased to bring Ellenโs expertise and authoritative voice to our fulltime channel dedicated to professional drivers.โ
