The six-time Tour de France champion has penned a deal to host a weekly yet-to-be-titled radio show on satellite radio provider SIRIUS set to debut later this year. Armstrong will be one of handful of top athletes hosting their own program which will include a mix of music, interviews and call-ins from listeners.
"SIRIUS has already gathered an amazing group of sports heroes ... and I'm honored to be included among them," Armstrong said. "Each week, I'll share some of my experiences, speak with listeners, bring on special guests, and most importantly play some of my favorite music."
The radio channel will debut Armstrong on its so-called Faction program, which also features Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio, hosted by the legendary skateboarder; world champion surfer Kelly Slater's Radio KA-OS; Sixty Minute Set with Kerri Walsh, hosted by the Olympic Gold Medalist, and upcoming programs featuring Viva La Bam host Bam Margera and beach volleyball icon Sinjin Smith.
"Lance will bring his life's experiences, interests and lifestyle to the SIRIUS microphone every week," said Scott Greenstein, President of Entertainment and Sports, SIRIUS. "Lance also likes to have fun (and) he takes advantage of all that his hometown of Austin, Texas has to offer in the form of great music."
The commercial-free satellite radio features 65 music channels and 55 channels of sports, talk, weather and other topics for $12.95 per month.
I wonder if there will be a lot Sheryl Crow music.
