Day 89: ESPNews

My Best Guess: For 24/7 sports news coverage, there's no better play than to tune into ESPNews on Sirius Satellite Radio!

According to Sirius: ESPNews, the nation's only 24-hour sports news service, provides listeners with unprecedented access to the newsmakers with LIVE coverage of significant press conferences; including the NFL weekly coaches sessions and post-season and championship briefings.

Curt's Rebuttal: Sounds good. I really was trying to figure out how to distinguish this from the previous channel, ESPN Radio...and I'm still not sure how. Apparently this is just an extension of ESPN's show SportsCenter.

Sample Playlist:
  • Sports News: Focused largely on Thursday night's NBA and NHL scores. Following those recaps, there was a quick story on how Barry Bonds is raising a stink about him boycotting the Baseball Hall of Fame if his record-breaking home run ball is admitted into the HoF with an asterisk attached.
  • Live Game Coverage: Coverage of the Friday night Knicks/Cavaliers game, as part of the Cleveland Cavaliers Basketball Radio Network.
  • ESPNews Gametime: An interview Jimmy Johnson and his plans to win the NASCAR Nextel Cup, as well as more discussion of the upcoming Colts/Patriots game.
Verdict: Nothing I'd bookmark, but if there was a game I was interested in while driving, I would probably tune into these channels to try and listen along.
