13 Channels of Super Bowl XLIII Coverage on Sirius XM
This coming Sunday Sirius and XM listeners will have access to 13 individual broadcasts of Super Bowl XLIII in a staggering 10 languages. In addition to the live game coverage listeners will also get to hear the entire halftime performance by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band live on E Street Radio.
We all know that Howard Stern turned down the chance to broadcast live from the upcoming even in Tampa but, if you are a fan of sports it should come as some consolation that Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo will in fact be in Tampa all week to host his daily show, Mad Dog Unleashed (Sirius ch.123, XM ch. 144).
In an interesting turn of events today, Bubba The Love Sponge announced that he would put on a free Bubbapalooza show in the city of the winning team in appreciation of his fans. Too bad for me that it wont be in the city of the team who beat the Arizona Cardinals 47-7 in week 16!

I am not surprised that Stern did not accept. Maybe Sirius didn’t offer enough extra $.
I’m surprised Karmazin isn’t charging subscribers extra in order to listen to the Super Bowl.
Mel Karmazin promised, “Importantly, significant portions of the savings achieved through the
merger will be shared with customers immediately and in the long-term through lower prices and improved service offerings.”
In reality subscription fees have increased, we have less channels, we have to pay more to get these channels and the once free internet stream has been discontinued.
Mel lied. Fire him.
If your not in front of a TV, there is not better way to go for the SB. The coverage seems to be excellent. Talegating and all kinds of other pre-game events would be crazy not to have this kind of coverage. I think what I like most about Sirius Sports coverage is the ability to listen to comentary for the team you are routing for.
The Super Bowl is exciting, but the real fireworks are about to start. This the what I would call the “calm before the debt storm”. Here is to hoping this company makes it out the other side!
