Hockey fans will be able to tune into XM next week for every game of the Stanley Cup Final, with three different broadcasts for each game. Choose from the home team broadcast, the visiting team broadcast, or NHL Radio for each game - all starting with Game 1 on Monday, May 28th at 8pm ET.

XM will carry the NHL Radio feed on XM channel 204, the home feed on XM channel 205, and the visiting feed on XM channel 206. Check out the full schedule here.

The Ottawa Senators will take on the Anaheim Ducks for the Cup. Anaheim will host Games 1, 2 and, if necessary, Games 5 and 7. The Senators will host Games 3, 4 and, if necessary, Game 6.

XM is set to become the "official satellite radio network" of the NHL starting with the 2007-2008 season.

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! 

Starting today, XM is airing a full slate of programming for the 91st Indianapolis 500 all throughout the week until the checkered flag is waved on Sunday, May 27th.

The race and all the other Indy 500 programming will be broadcast on XM Sports Nation (ch 144).

XM's coverage of the Indy 500 begins today with a special edition of "The Andretti Green Racing Hour" recorded live from the XM Stage trackside in Indianapolis. The show will feature Andretti Green Racing's drivers Danica Patrick (who can be seen here in her new racing suit), Marco Andretti, Dario Franchitti and Tony Kanaan, as well as Andretti Green co-owner and IndyCar racing legend Michael Andretti.

Tomorrow (May 24) the ever-popular host Claire B. Lang will serve double-duty as she covers NASCAR qualifying for the Coca-Cola 600, as well as Indy 500 coverage on her "Dialed In" show from 4:00-7pm ET. Claire will be joined regularly from "Powershift" host Joe Castello who will provide insight direct from the Indy track. Next up Thursday, Joe Castello's "Powershift" will air from Indianapolis from 8-10pm ET.

On Friday, May 25th, T.J. Rives (host of "XMSN This Morning") will join the XM team broadcasting live from Indy with a special Indy 500 edition of his daily morning show from 6-8am ET. Later that afternoon, Joe Castello will again be hosting a special trackside edition of "Powershift" on the Chevy Stage from 2-4pm ET, followed by "Dialed In" with Claire B. Lang live trackside at the Indy 500 from 4-7pm ET.

On Saturday, May 26th, T.J. Rives and Joe Castello will co-host a "Total Access Special" airing at 2-4:30pm ET, giving fans the inside scoop on the big event itself. Sunday T.J. and Joe will co-host a live, pre-race show at the Chevy Stage from 11am-12pm ET, with the live broadcast of the race itself immediately following.

Also on Saturday, NASCAR fans can hear their beloved host Claire B. Lang in a special edition of "Dialed In" live from Charlotte, NC, from 10-11am ET on Sunday, May 27.

As if the Indy 500 wasn't historic enough - being one of the oldest and having one of the largest audiences (both in attendance and in radio/TV coverage) - but this is also the first Indy 500 where three women are competing. Below is a photo of Milka Duno (left), Sarah Fisher (second from left) and Danick Patrick (right), joined with former driver Lyn St. James, center, and tennis great Billie Jean King.

In addition to XM's ongoing Indy 500 race coverage on XMSN, Chris Daughtry will perform for fans at the track just prior to driver introductions on Race Day as part of the XM Concert Series.

On track, Indy 500 attendees will have the opportunity to hear to XMSN coverage at various listening kiosks throughout the track, as well as purchase new radios and devices. Fans can visit the number of XM-branded locations for giveaways and to enter to win free XM Radios. XM and Honda will also display the No. 7 Honda Dallara in the main lobby of the Marriott Downtown, along with the No. 27, No. 11 and No. 26 show cars.

But wait there's more, for online goodness - check out driver Bryan Herta's blog - where he will share different experiences surrounding the Indianapolis 500 all week long.

Under their recent signing with the SEC, XM will be broadcasting the SEC Baseball Tournament, May 23rd - May 27th, live from Regions Park in Hoover, Ala. (near Birmingham) on XM's SEC Channel (ch 199).

Game 1 begins at 10am CT on May 23rd. The championship game will air May 27th at 3pm CT. This is the first time the tournament has aired nationwide on satellite radio.

Southeastern Conference baseball leads the nation with the highest attendance among college baseball programs across the U.S. The same fervor that SEC fans have for football and basketball extends to the baseball stadium, where fans tailgate, rivalries are hot, and games are carried on local broadcasting outlets. SEC baseball on satellite radio has a special appeal forr the displaced fan – the SEC fan who can’t hear the games locally, can now hear the games on XM.

Starting this fall, XM will air select SEC football and basketball games on XM channels 199 - 201. XM will also air the SEC football and basketball championships, plus other SEC sports and SEC specials.

The PGA TOUR's signature event, The Players Championship, tees off this week at the legendary TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Verde, Florida. XM Satellite Radio's PGA TOUR Network (ch 146) will air live play-by-play coverage of The Players - May 10th to May 13th - from 12 noon to 7pm ET each day.

Preview coverage starts today at 2pm ET live from Sawgrass (hey wait, that's right now).

When fans arrive at Sawgrass May 11-13, they can pick up a complimentary XM radio for the day to hear The Players broadcast (ask for Marie, she'll be there). The first one thousand spectators to sign up at the XM booths each day can listen to a portable XM radio for no charge. This is all part of XM's Fan Enhancement Program, which allows fans to listen to the action free of charge and receive special pricing on products/service.

If you happen to be in the NYC area, go check out Rockefeller Plaza. The PGA TOUR has built a replica of the 17th hole at Sawgrass (pictured) in the middle of Rockefeller to promote The Players.

You can grab a club and take a shot at the 1/4 scale replica through May 17th. But don't worry if you miss - the 17th at Sawgrass is notorious for being one of the toughest holes in golf.
