NEW YORK, Oct 26, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- The National Basketball Association and SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI), the Official Satellite Radio Partner of the NBA, announced today a new exclusive programming lineup on NBA Radio on SIRIUS, channel 127, the first 24/7, year-round radio channel devoted to the NBA.
NBA Radio on SIRIUS will provide the most comprehensive, in-depth radio coverage of the NBA, with live play-by-play of NBA games and exclusive daily live talk shows hosted by Hall of Famer Rick Barry, Kenny "The Jet" Smith, Ian Eagle, Frank Isola, Rich Ackerman and others. Each show will include up-to- the-minute news, expert analysis and exclusive interviews with players, coaches and other NBA insiders.

SIRIUS has the exclusive national radio rights to NBA team radio broadcasts and will air regular season games from every NBA team.
Live game coverage tips off on SIRIUS Tuesday, Oct. 31, with the defending NBA Champion Miami Heat hosting the Chicago Bulls at 8pm ET/7pm CT on channel 127.
"SIRIUS already provides fans with more live NBA games than any other radio outlet," said Steve Cohen, SIRIUS' Vice President of Sports Programming. "Now SIRIUS and the NBA will supplement that live game coverage with expert talk radio every day of the week that will be hosted by some of the smartest and most accomplished names in professional basketball, including former star players Rick Barry and Kenny Smith."
"NBA Radio on SIRIUS is the perfect complement to NBA TV and NBA.com enabling the NBA to reach basketball fans 24/7," said Steve Herbst, Senior Vice President, Broadcasting and General Manager, NBA TV. "With the addition of NBA legend Rick Barry, New York Daily News Knicks beat writer Frank Isola and veteran host Rich Ackerman to our all-star lineup; we will continue to be able to feed the insatiable appetite of our fans who constantly hunger for new and informative basketball news."
