Charlie Puth Kicks Off SiriusXM 'Dial Up The Moment' — PHOTOS
SiriusXM introduces a month-long program of surprise conversations with celebrity hosts like Charlie Puth and Jenny McCarthy. See photos!
Last night, SiriusXM invited Patch to an exclusive launch party for the new program 'Dial Up the Moment', an interactive phone experience. To kick off the exciting event, Jenny McCarthy welcomed guests at Penn Plaza Pavilion to an evening of drinks, canapés, dancing and a special performance by singer-songwriter Charlie Puth.
When participating in 'Dial Up the Moment', audiences will be immersed in surprise conversations with celebrity hosts and will discover SiriusXM channels by dialing 1-844-SXM-MOMENT (or visiting SiriusXM here).
Daniela's Lens was there to capture all the best moments from the launch in New York City. Check it out below:
