MLB playoffs on Sirius

X

Xkrusdx

With the MLB playoffs starting this week, will ESPN radio (ch. 120) on Sirius be offering the ESPN radio feed of the baseball playoffs, or the national talk feed during the games? thanx!

--D.C.--
 
As of Oct 6, XM's "Home Plate" will be offered as part of the "Best of XM on Sirius" offering that came about as part of the merger. This might or might not include the play by play channels. This would wipe out the NLDS/ALDS, but make such a service available for the NLCS/ALCS and World Series.

BOTTOM LINE: You'll need to pa extra.

We are very excited to begin offering existing and prospective listeners access to even more compelling programming and new packages."
