The Tony Bruno Show, hosted by the award-winning Bruno, one of sports radio's most respected personalities, airs weekdays from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm ET on SIRIUS Sports Central channel 123. Other Sporting News radio programs including The Arnie Spanier Show (weekdays, 7:00 - 10:00 pm ET), Todd Wright Tonight (weekdays, 10:00 pm - 2:00 am ET) and The David Stein Show (weekdays, 2:00 - 6:00 am ET) also air on SIRIUS.

SIRIUS has also added several new exclusive sports talk shows to its weekday lineup on SIRIUS Sports Central including:

-- SIRIUS Fight Club, hosted by Randy Gordon, former editor-in-chief of
The Ring magazine and former Chairman of the New York State Athletic
Commission, airs Tuesdays from 1:00 - 3:00 pm ET. Gordon covers
boxing and Mixed Martial Arts on a show that provides an in-depth look
at the sweet science and one of the world's fastest-rising sports.

-- The SIRIUS College Football Coaches Show, hosted by Jack Arute and
former Auburn Tigers head coach Terry Bowden, airs every Wednesday
from 1:00 - 3:00 pm ET. Arute and Bowden interview coaches and

Kids," hosts the call-in show SIRIUS Presents the ABCs of Sports.

discusses ideas for making youth sports more enjoyable for both kids
and adults.

-- On Fridays from 1:00 - 3:00 pm ET, The Fantoo Girls, Carol Doroba and
Robin McConaughey, provide a refreshingly unscientific perspective on
the world of sports. Each week Carol and Robin focus on entertaining
and educating an audience that likes to talk sports without cluttering
up the conversation with detailed Xs and Os and exhaustive stats.
