XM Carries Big 12 Conference under ESPN Agreement

With the addition of the Big 12 Conference, XM is now the official satellite radio network for the six BCS conferences in college sports.

XM and ESPN Regional Television announced that XM will carry Big 12 Conference sports under a new, multi-year agreement.

Starting this fall, XM will air select Big 12 football games each week and the Big 12 football championship. XM will also air select Big 12 men’s and women’s basketball games, as well as complete coverage of the Big 12 men’s and women’s basketball tournaments.

The Big 12 joins the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-10, and SEC as part of XM’s line-up of college sports programming. These six conferences are commonly known as the power conferences in college football and basketball. Today’s announcement follows XM’s recent agreement with FOX Sports to be the exclusive satellite radio network of the Allstate Bowl Championship Series (BCS) National Championship Game, Allstate Sugar Bowl, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and FedEx Orange Bowl.
