SIRIUS XM Radio has launched The Midterm Report–a live, nightly two-hour show focused entirely on the heated race for the midterm vote, offering millions of listeners unfiltered, in-depth coverage, analysis of key races, issues, and the biggest stories of the day as the country heads into the closing weeks of the 2010 midterm campaign–on P.O.T.U.S., the 24/7 non-partisan channel connecting listeners nationwide to the “Politics of the United States.”

The Midterm Report, hosted by Washington media veterans Todd Zwillich and Adam Belmar, airs live every Monday – Thursday through the election from 6:00 – 8:00 pm ET on P.O.T.U.S., SIRIUS channel 110 and XM channel 130. Zwillich, a specialist on electoral politics, will host The Midterm Report every Monday. Zwillich has covered the House, Senate and White House for many years, interviewing Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders regularly. He is currently the Washington correspondent for The Takeaway, and a regular P.O.T.U.S. contributor.

Belmar, a former White House image guru, hosts The Midterm Report on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. A seasoned media strategist and communications consultant, Belmar was the Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy Communications Director in the George W. Bush administration and Senior Producer at ABC News, overseeing the Washington bureau of Good Morning America and producing This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Zwillich and Belmar will interview a variety of key players throughout the race, including candidates, party leaders, top political strategists from the left and the right, as well as a cross-section of reporters covering the race from around the country.

Washington insiders Ed Gillespie, former White House advisor and former Republican National Committee Chairman, Karen Finney, Democratic political consultant and former Democratic National Committee spokesperson and John Feehery, Republican political consultant and former spokesman for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, will appear on The Midterm Report. Finney and Feehery will join the show together weekly, debating the issues and strategies from their respective parties. Political marketing expert Thom Mozloom (a P.O.T.U.S. ’08 alum) of Miami’s M Network contributes nightly to the show, reviewing the latest campaign ads from TV, radio and the internet.

P.O.T.U.S.’ Joe Mathieu (Program Director, host of The Press Pool and anchor of the channel’s special political coverage), Pete Dominick (Stand Up! with Pete Dominick) and Tim Farley (Morning Briefing) are regular contributors to The Midterm Report, with Mathieu on-air daily.

“P.O.T.U.S. broke ground when it launched as the first radio channel dedicated to a presidential election, and The Midterm Report is the latest way that the P.O.T.U.S. team is using the freedom of satellite radio to advance political coverage,” said Jeremy Coleman, SVP, Talk and Entertainment Programming, SIRIUS XM Radio. “We are proud to offer our listeners this deep and clear coverage as we approach these particularly contentious elections.”

Broadcasting live from Washington, D.C. 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.

Hosts Joe Mathieu and Tim Farley will bring listeners inside this historic event and interview Apollo astronauts, the people who preserve the history of space flight, and the politicians who will determine the future of America’s space program. The broadcast will include all three Apollo 11 astronauts — Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins — talking about the mission in their own words, including an interview with Buzz Aldrin, and remarks from Sunday’s Annual John H. Glenn Lecture at the museum featuring the Apollo 11 crew. P.O.T.U.S. also interviews Alan Bean, the fourth man to walk on the moon. Bean became a painter after his NASA career and his new exhibit is called “The First Artist on Another World.”

The special will feature tributes to legendary newsman Walter Cronkite and his historic reporting of the July 20, 1969 moment when man first walked on the moon.

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 The Politics of the United States. P.O.T.U.S. 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.
