Mark Cuban signs with SIRIUS Satellite Radio
Dallas Mavericks owner and famed blogger, Mark Cuban, has signed a deal with SIRIUS Satellite Radio to do a two-hour radio show called Mark Cuban's Radio Maverick, starting this summer on SIRIUS Stars, Sundays from 12pm - 2pm ET. This is definitely one show that I personally will be tuning to."I plan on raising hell and covering any and all topics that I think are interesting and taking no prisoners along the way," said Cuban.
Cuban has never held back from speaking his mind. He sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo! back in the dotCOM days for $5.7 billion - keeping $1.9 billion for his own pocket. In 2000, he bought the Dallas Mavericks for $280 million, which at the time was the highest price ever paid for a basketball team. Proving to be a bit of maverick himself, Cuban was slapped with the biggest NBA fine ever ($500,000) when he said of Ed Rush, the NBA director of officials, "I wouldn't hire him to manage a Dairy Queen." Dairy Queen in turn invited Cuban to run a Dairy Queen for a day. He also co-founded HDNet, a high-def TV network on DIRECTV. UPDATE: HDNet is also available on DISH Network as well as other TV service providers.
For those not familiar with Cuban, he's also a well respected blogger having run Blog Maverick for since early 2004.
