XM has inked a deal with FOX Sports to become the exclusive satellite radio network of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) National Championship Game and other BCS games, starting in January 2008.
The agreement means XM will be the only satellite radio provider for college football games like the Allstate BCS National Championship Game, Allstate Sugar Bowl, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and the FedEx Orange Bowl.
This isn't the first time that XM and FOX Sports have signed deals over the BCS. Late last year, XM announced they would broadcast the 2007 BCS National Championship game, and then later extended their BCS college football coverage.
The new multi-year agreement now solidifies the partnership.
Thanks Donald!

This is the 2nd or 3rd (BCS, the 2008 stuff) thing I can remember lately that XM has become the 'official host' for. I wonder if, internally, they are preping for the merger to be shot down. I havn't noticed SIRI pick up anything lately.

Until there's actually Playoffs, the BCS is just BS...
Division 1A College Football is great except for the damn Bowl system...

Again another "Exclusive" bit of content... when will they wake the F up.... it needs to be exclusive Audio provider... not exclusive Sat Rad partner.

Sports on the radio sucks ass. Whether it's on XM, Sirius or AM/FM. Complete waste of channels. Sports talk is listenable, baseball maybe. NASCAR, football (college or pro) hockey, basketball and golf all suck.

That's because they spent all their money on Howard Stern.
