Sirius Satellite Radio adds Bodybuilding Talk Show!
Broadcast Deal Makes PBW most wide reaching Bodybuilding Media
Announcement - November 12, 2006 -- Bodybuilding’s pursuit of mainstream exposure has scored a victory with the announcement that “Pro Bodybuilding Weekly” will be added to Sirius Satellite Radio’s high profile lineup of programming. With more than 5 million Sirius subscribers, Pro Bodybuilding Weekly’s audience reach will exceed that of any existing bodybuilding media outlet, print or broadcast.
Sirius Satellite Radio has enjoyed a surge in popularity following the prolific arrivals of Howard Stern and NFL Football. PBW’s Executive Producer Dan Solomon explains, “From day one, our objective has been to bring the sport of bodybuilding to as many people as possible. This is a big victory for everyone who shares our passion for bodybuilding.”
Jim Manion, Vice President of the International Federation of Bodybuilders, adds, “Pro Bodybuilding Weekly is playing an important role in promoting the sport on a larger scale. The addition of bodybuilding to Sirius Satellite Radio represents a significant step in our ongoing efforts to reach the largest possible audience."
Launched in June of 2005, bodybuilding talk radio has gained momentum by allowing bodybuilding fans a chance to hear from the biggest names in bodybuilding. Beginning in 2007, the one-hour broadcasts will air in primetime on Sirius Radio’s popular network, Sports Byline USA (Sirius channel 122). “We are thrilled to see the show listed among this incredible lineup of programming.”, says Russ DeLuca, Vice President of Bodybuilding.com, the world’s number one most visited bodybuilding website and sponsor of Pro Bodybuilding Weekly.
Co-Host Bob Cicherillo adds, “Bodybuilding fans needed a new way to follow the sport. The magazines are great, but PBW allows fans to hear the news immediately, directly from the source.”
Solomon explains, “We are now in a unique position to provide the athletes, the magazines, and our advertisers with the large scale exposure they richly deserve.”
Presented each week by renowned supplement leader MuscleTech, the broadcasts will also remain available to a global audience by webcast.

Thanks for the props. There were a lot of people at PBW who worked hard to help us bring professional bodybuilding to Sirius Radio. It appears that the concept of "bodybuilding talk radio" has really caught on. We'll share more of the "Sirius" details during tonights broadcast (8pm EST). As always, thanks for tuning in!

what are they now going to be contracted to do 52 episodes per year??
That would mean it is weekly... right now it should be called Pro bodybuilding ah whenever we feel like it ;D
-

Yeah HENCE the name, it is anything but weekly currently. they are currently contracted to do 40 shows per year. Well, i am no rocket scientist but that still leaves 12 weeks per year that there are no shows. Think before you reply
-
MONSTER!!
Coolness and congratulations to Dan, Bob, and the entire PBW crew. Good on ya, mates!
So nice getting to catch up with you the other evening, Dan - I'm looking forward to even bigger news tomorrow. Good luck to you and the Mrs. - here's wishing you a beautiful baby girl! ;)

For the weeks they have breaks, archived episodes will be aired.

That intro was so amazing! :o
Also Bob said that sponsers should be looking to advertise on PBW in response to the continuation of the muscletech contract. If I may recall correctly isn't Sirius 'ad free' radio hence it's appeal or is that just the music section.
