Sirius Satellite Radio is starting a new all-sports channel, Sirius Sports Central (ch 123), which will combine exclusive talk programing with Sporting News Radio programming and live game broadcasts.
Sirius already has sports-specific channels like Sirius NFL Radio, Sirius NASCAR Radio, and Sirius NBA Radio - but this channel brings together all the other pro and college sports into a single location.
There's the Tony Bruno Show which airs weekdays from 9am - 1pm ET on Sirius Sports Central. And other Sporting News radio programs including The Arnie Spanier Show (weekdays, 7 - 10pm ET), Todd Wright Tonight (weekdays, 10pm - 2am ET) and The David Stein Show (weekdays, 2 - 6am ET) also air on Sirius.
Sirius has also added several new exclusive sports talk shows to its weekday lineup on Sirius Sports Central such as Sirius Fight Club; The Sirius College Football Coaches Show; Sirius Presents the ABCs of Sports; and The Fantoo Girls.
The new programming joins existing programming on Sirius Sports Central that includes: The Mike & Murray Show; Rivals Radio; and Steiner Sports on Sirius.
Sirius also airs weekend programming from Sporting News Radio including: Golf World On Air with Mark Wood; Sports Saturday and Sports Sunday; and the motorsports talk show SNR's Inside Track
Additionally, every Thursday night throughout the NFL season, Sirius Sports Central will carry The Troy Aikman Show, hosted by the three-time Super Bowl Champion and Hall of Fame quarterback.
Check out show details and the time schedule after the jump...
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 players from around the country and preview the weekend's best college match-ups.
Every Thursday from 1:00 - 3:00 pm ET, Scott Lancaster, author of the book "Fair Play: Making Organized Sports a Great Experience for Your Kids," hosts the call-in show Sirius Presents the ABCs of Sports. Lancaster takes calls from young competitors, parents and coaches, and 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.

I wonder if the merger passes, if XMSN and the new Sirius Sports channel would merge. I would welcome that.
