NHL On XM

Posted on by

I have ESPN BottomLine running at the bottom of my screen all the time and while I was writing my last post, a headline popped up that caught my attention; NHL announces $100M deal with XM Radio. It’s a 10 year deal that will make XM the exclusive satellite radio broadcaster for the NHL as of 2007. That makes XM the exclusive satellite radio broadcaster for Major League Baseball, NASCAR (which I don’t listen to), and now the National Hockey League. Now all I need is National Football League games on XM so I can listen to my Giants games.

 

XM Radio

I finally decided to get XM Radio over Sirius. I am not a big fan of Howard Stern so I could care less about him going over to Sirius next January. I am a bigger fan of Opie and Anthony and it’s still a little weird hearing them curse on their show when I’m so used to when they were on FM radio. The only reason I had for thinking about getting Sirius was Leslie Gold – The Radio Chick, who used to on the same station as Opie and Anthony. If only some company create a receiver that could work with both satellite radio companies, or they merged into one company.

 

XM Or Sirius

I want to get satellite radio for my truck but I’m not sure if I want to go with XM or Sirius. A few years ago, I used to listen to 102.7 WNEW in New York City when they were a talk radio station with Opie & Anthony and Leslie Gold – The RadioChick. But now Opie & Anthony are on XM and Leslie Gold is on Sirius. I haven’t been a fan of Howard Stern since I started listening to Opie & Anthony but haven’t had a chance to listen to them since they got taken off the air a few years ago. Things would be so much easier if XM and Sirius merged.
