a tip about Sirius radio and NHL broadcasts

I'm a big fan of XM radio (satellite radio, if you don't know). Sirius is the big competitor of XM - same thing. You can listen to their broadcasts (100+ stations) anywhere you like with an XM or Sirius radio.

I just found out that Sirius carries a lot of NHL games, which means you can listen to the games with a Sirius radio.

A sample of today's broadcasts are:

Philadelphia Flyers @ Buffalo Sabres 124
Phoenix Coyotes @ Washington Capitals 126
Pittsburgh Penguins @ New Jersey Devils 111
Boston Bruins @ Detroit Red Wings 144
Los Angeles Kings @ Anaheim Mighty Ducks 124

In short... you can hear any of the games.

Personally, I like listening to other games instead of sitting in front of the TV all night. If you are likeminded, this might be something worth looking into.

Three things:

1) I haven't yet determined what the broadcasts are, but I assume they are local broadcasts, just like NHL radio.
2) NHL radio on the Internet is a free alternative, but I have mixed/spotty results tuning into the streaming broadcasts.
3) Both XM and Sirius charge a montly fee to use the service. I have XM and feel it's worth it. Good radio, sports, talk programming. You can use it in your house, car, at work, etc. But, it costs $, so now you know.

Look for the sports programming, there is an NHL section there.

yeah- listen to sirius!!!
i have lots of their stock :D

That's a good buy. We bought XM stock last February at about 4 and it's now around 29. !. Sirius is still pretty low, probably a good time to buy it - but I don't know crap about stocks, so don't go by my word.

Another Sirius tip!

As soon as we step into the 1990's and get cordless phones and a CD player...I'll look into it..

:D

Another Sirius tip!

it currently sits around 3.20, and the volume on it is absurd. rumors are that the company is gonna be bought out soon, so if you're a player, get in while you can...by the way, this advice is free :D

It's been a big gainer in the last week.

I bought a Sirius Satellite Radio back in September and love it.After I bought that radio,Sirius signed a deal with the NHL to carry all of the NHL games much like the NHL Center Ice package except there are no additional charges for the package.It also broadcasts all of the NBA games this year and as of next year will be carrying all of the NFL games.Works out nice for me since I have season tickets to the Richmond Riverdogs and its an hour and a half drive.So go see them,get out around 9:45 and listen the NHL games on the radio on the way home.
Also everyday they have a 2 hour show on the NHL from 2-4PM.I think its called NHL live but it informative and worth tuning in to.Just thought I would put my 2 cents in.

I have XM, and my main reason for getting it was for the NASCAR channel. That and the local radio in the Philly area just plain sucks!

I read an article that XM said it wasn't worth the price for the NHL & NFL packages, that Sirus got.

I'm hoping that someone integrates the two carriers. XM and Sirius under one roof. Offer it as two levels of service, standard and premium. It's annoying to have to consider using both services but both offer some good things not available on the other. It's like 8-track and cassetes again. Just get the consolidation over with.
