Sirius XM

Covino & Rich are hosts on SIRIUS XM Radio. Steve Covino is a host on the 90s/2000s hard rock station Turbo (formerly Octane) while Rich Davis is a host on the 2000s pop station Pop2K. The duo was originally formed to broadcast a test show on Maxim Radio which debuted on December 16, 2004. After a successful test, the show was officially launched as "The Covino and Rich Show" on February 5, 2005. Over the years the show has been aired and replayed at various times. The program currently airs from 8AM - 11AM PST on SiriusXM Faction 103.[3][4]

Television

In October 2013, SportsNet New York brought on Covino and Rich to host their own show on the network. Covino & Rich cover the world of sports from the fan's point of view.[5][6] They previously aired on SNY to fill the 6:00 PM – 6:30 PM EST time slot during the baseball off-season. The show replayed at 10:00 PM EST. However, since June 2015, Covino and Rich permanently relocated to Los Angeles, and could not renew their television show with SNY.

Annual Covino & Rich Convention

Since 2010, Covino & Rich have hosted the annual Covino & Rich Convention (formerly known as the Dudebro Convention or "DBC") every June in New York City. The four-day event was "started organically" by listeners of the show. The purpose of the convention is to bring Covino & Rich enthusiasts from around North America to meet and interact with the cast of the show inside and outside of the studio.

Perennial events have included attending New York Mets and New York Yankees baseball games, karaoke singing, a "Booze Cruise" on the Hudson River, "Covino & Rich's Unconventional Comedy Night" at Gotham Comedy Club where Rich performed an original standup comedy routine, Saturday softball games in Central Park, an "Italian-style Family Dinner" in Little Italy, and a studio broadcast of The Covino & Rich Show at SiriusXM in front of a live audience.

The 2018 CRC is scheduled for June 20-23, 2018.
