Sirius XM

Covino & Rich are hosts on SIRIUS XM Radio. Steve Covino is a host on the modern rock station Octane while Rich Davis is a host on the pop station Hits 1. 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 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM EST on Sirius XM Rush 93.[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 of 2015, Covino and Rich permanently relocated to Los Angeles, and could not renew their television show with SNY.

Covino & Rich have also made guest TV appearances on WPIX Morning News[7] and have co-hosted VH1's Morning Buzz.[8]

Video games

Steve Covino has voiced numerous characters in the Grand Theft Auto video games including City Official, Chinese Vendor, Cholo, Gun Dealer, and Smuggler.

Annual Dudebro Convention

Since 2010, Covino & Rich have hosted the annual Dudebro Convention (also known as the "DBC") every June in New York City. The four day event was "started organically" by listeners of the show. The purpose of the convention was 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 a New York Mets baseball game, "Covino & Rich's Dudebro Unconventional Comedy Night" at Gotham Comedy Club where Rich performs an original standup comedy routine, and a studio broadcast of The Covino & Rich Show at SiriusXM in front of a live audience. The convention has also hosted bowling events, karaoke nights, "Booze Cruises" on the Hudson River, and multiple parties at various clubs and bars in Manhattan.

The 2014 DBC will take place on June 25–28, 2014. New events are tentatively scheduled to include a ping-pong tournament at SiriusXM and a softball event on Roosevelt Island.
