NEW YORK, June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio
(Nasdaq: SIRI), the Official Satellite Radio Partner of the NFL, has added
legendary NFL receiver Jerry Rice to the roster of expert hosts on SIRIUS
NFL Radio, channel 124, the only 24/7 year-round radio channel devoted to
the NFL.

Rice will begin hosting on SIRIUS NFL Radio on Tuesday, June 13th when
he co-hosts "The Afternoon Blitz" with Adam Schein from 3-7 pm ET. He will
be heard three days a week on SIRIUS every week throughout the year.
"I'm thrilled to be joining the SIRIUS NFL Radio team. SIRIUS is the
Super Bowl Champion of satellite radio companies," said Rice. "I'm going to
approach my broadcasting career with the same energy and enthusiasm I had
during my playing career and we'll put on a fun and informative show for
all the listeners out there."
"Very few athletes in professional sports can claim that they were the
absolute best at what they did -- Jerry Rice is one of those few," said
Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS' President, Entertainment and Sports. "Now he will
share his incredible wealth of knowledge and experience with SIRIUS'
nationwide audience. Our listeners will be able to interact with him all
year long, talking directly to one of the greatest players to ever put on a
uniform."
After being drafted in 1985 by coach Bill Walsh and the San Francisco
49ers out of Division I-AA Mississippi Valley State, Jerry Rice went on to
become the greatest receiver in NFL history. When he retired in 2005, his
#80 had become a symbol of excellence.
Over an astonishing and highlight-filled 20-year career, Rice re-wrote
the NFL record books with 208 career touchdowns, 22,895 career receiving
yards and 1,549 career receptions. He represented one half of two of the
most famously successful quarterback-receiver tandems in league history
when he teamed up with Hall-of-Famers Joe Montana and Steve Young. He was
selected to 13 Pro Bowls, won three Super Bowls and was named MVP of Super
Bowl XXIII.
On SIRIUS NFL Radio, Rice joins a lineup of NFL experts that includes
Cris Carter, Randy Cross, Gil Brandt, Tim Ryan, Pat Kirwan, Solomon Wilcots
and Adam Schein. NFL fans can tune in to SIRIUS NFL Radio throughout the
calendar year for the only 24/7 radio channel dedicated entirely to pro
football talk.

of NFL Sunday Drive, the broadcasting package that offers live nationwide
every regular and post-season NFL game, including the Super Bowl and Pro
Bowl. Listeners can hear home and visiting team broadcasts, national radio
