MLB All-Star Week on XM
XM Satellite Radio will be airing comprehensive coverage of Major League Baseball's 2007 All-Star Week from July 7th to July 10th.
XM will cover All-Star Week from every possible angle: on the field, in the stands - even on the water. During the Home Run Derby, MLB Home Plate host Holden Kushner will broadcast from a kayak floating in McCovey Cove outside AT&T Park, keeping a watchful eye on baseballs raining down from the stadium.
The XM All-Star Futures Game will air July 8th, and the Home Run Derby will air July 9th. XM will carry the 78th All-Star Game live from AT&T Park in San Francisco on July 10th. The play-by-play coverage will be broadcast on XM channel 176.
XM's baseball talk radio channel - MLB Home Plate (ch 175) - will be live from the DHL All-Star FanFest for four days starting July 7th. MLB Home Plate will have a broadcast center at FanFest which will also feature XM listening stations and an XM store.
In addition to the live broadcasts during All-Star Week, XM will tape an episode of the show "Baseball Confidential" with Hall of Fame inductee Tony Gwynn in front of an audience at the CHW Stage at FanFest on July 10th. MLB En Espanol (ch 174) will carry Spanish play-by-play of the All-Star Game, and the call-in show "Solamente Pelota" will be live from AT&T Park.
But the baseball madness isn't just on their MLB channels. XM's alternative rock channel Ethel, country hits channel Highway 16, and children's channel XM KiDS will also broadcast from the XM booth at FanFest.
