Sirius Radio is about to get a fresh bouquet…and a fresh set of opinions.

Rosie O'Donnell is set to launch Rosie Radio, a daily morning radio show on the satellite network, in the fall.

The show, which will air Monday through Friday from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. ET (7-9 a.m. PT) on Sirius XM Stars, will mark the former talk-show host's first return to the airwaves of any sort since her failed variety show last November and her dramatic exit from The View two years ago.

"This is an exciting new adventure—two hours of talk show entertainment, without having to wear makeup. Perfection," the outspoken Emmy winner said in a statement.

O'Donnell will be taking callers, chatting with celebrity guests and sharing her brand of humor as she discusses pop culture, parenthood, politics and the like.
