Set to launch in early 2018, the Pac-12 and SiriusXM will partner to launch “SiriusXM Pac-12 Radio.” The 24 hour radio network will provide coverage of both men’s and women’s sports including football, basketball, baseball, softball and more.
”We are excited to partner with one of the very best in sports radio in SiriusXM, which will support our mission to serve our fans across the country on all media platforms on which they follow Pac-12 sports with the highest quality and most comprehensive content,” said Larry Scott, Commissioner of the Pac-12 Conference. “Following on the heels of recent new and renewed partnerships for the Pac-12 Networks with both linear and over-the-top distributors, we remain committed to expanding the exposure and footprint of the Pac-12 member universities and student-athletes.”
The SiriusXM Pac-12 Radio network will be channel 373 on select SiriusXM satellite radios, but will also be available to subscribers through the SiriusXM app on mobile phones, smart TV’s, Roku and other platforms. Earlier this month, SiriusXM also announced a partnership with the SEC to launch “SiriusXM SEC Radio,” channel 374.
“SiriusXM Pac-12 Radio is an exciting addition to the SiriusXM lineup. It makes our robust college sports programming even better and is a significant west coast based addition as we continue to deliver our listeners the best content from across the country,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “We are pleased to work closely with the Pac-12 to deliver a new level of coverage that matches the passion of Pac-12 fans and gives them access to their favorite teams, and the news and analysis they want, wherever they go.”
SiriusXM Pac-12 Radio will provide fans around the country with live a daily lineup of exclusive programming, live game coverage, coaches’ shows, press conferences, media days, Pac-12 highlights and classic game broadcasts. The new agreement, paired with SiriusXM SEC Radio should provide listeners with great college basketball access just in time for March Madness 2018.
