XM was all over the MLB All-Star Game in New York this past week, including the All-Star FanFest at the Javits convention center in Manhattan.
The MLB Home Plate (ch 175) channel played host to a long line of baseball stars and legends, including Hall of Famers George Brett and Whitey Ford, who taped episodes of "Baseball Confidential" in front of live crowds. Lots of other XM channels broadcast from the site, even the POTUS '08 presidential election channel, which mixed sports and politics with sportswriters and politicos.
The last XM show from Javits was "60/20 Sports" with James Carville and Luke Russert, who did double-duty on the POTUS channel, then hopped over to his own show to interview Bob Costas and Greta Van Susteren, then walked out onto the field at Yankee Stadium with his mother Maureen Orth for a pre-game tribute to Luke's late father Tim, in recognition of his support and advocacy for baseball.
Quite a week.

Love the FCC breakdown Ryan. Just another public service Orbitcast offers to all.
Perhaps this is inappropriate, but Luke is only like what, 22 years old? He needs to consider a diet or he is going to be a lot larger than his father ever was...
