SEC and SiriusXM to Launch New Sports Channel

This feed will be dedicated to SEC games.

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) and SiriusXM announced today that they will launch SiriusXM SEC Radio, a new and exclusive 24/7 audio channel dedicated to SEC sports that will deliver fans and alumni across the country in-depth and comprehensive access to SEC-focused sports talk and news, plus an extensive schedule of SEC games.

SiriusXM SEC Radio will launch early next year and will be available exclusively to SiriusXM subscribers via the SiriusXM app, on connected devices including smart TVs, Amazon Alexa devices, Sony PlayStation, Roku and more, and on select SiriusXM satellite radios (channel 374).

The new channel's programming lineup will include exclusive new shows as well as simulcasts of SEC Network programming, and will give listeners access to weekly college coaches shows, press conferences, classic SEC game broadcasts, coverage of SEC Media Days, as well as curated, SEC-specific highlights.

SiriusXM SEC Radio will also feature live play-by-play broadcasts of conference events from several men's and women's sports including football, basketball, baseball, softball and more. (Live SEC game broadcasts will be available on satellite radios only.)

"College sports have always been an important part of SiriusXM's lineup, and the launch of a dedicated SEC channel breaks new ground and brings our college sports programming to another level," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer. "SEC fans have tremendous passion for their colleges and universities and we are focused on giving those fans the kind of access, news and analysis that keeps them connected to their teams, wherever they live and wherever they go."
 
This is the first college sports league-related sports network on SiriusXM, right? I know three other conferences like the SEC have play-by-play channels but not a sports channel with talk and news and analysis and more.

Correct. SXM recently turned its former in-house College Sports Nation channel into branded-and-programmed ESPNU Radio -- one of its several tie-in channels with ESPN -- but this is the first conference channel.
