Skateboarding Icon Tony Hawk to Host New Radio Show on Sirius Satellite Radio. Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio to Debut July 20

New York, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - SIRIUS
,
the premium satellite radio provider known for
delivering the very best in commercial-free music and sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced a partnership with record-breaking skateboard champion Tony Hawk. Hawk will become the first host on SIRIUS Faction, the
innovative music channel created by SIRIUS
especially for action sports enthusiasts.

Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio will broadcast from a custom-designed SIRIUS studio at Hawk's new practice facility in California. Hawk will deliver his personal slant on the action sports lifestyle that he is largely responsible for bringing to the public consciousness. The show will launch Tuesday, July 20 at 6:00pm ET and will be uncensored and commercial-free.

According to Forbes Magazine, Tony Hawk's brand generated $300 million in retail sales in 2003. The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video games have become one of the most successful game series in the world. Hawk also enjoyed success with his 32-city US Boom Boom HuckJam action sports tour, which has successfully played to sold-out arenas for the past two years.

"I am very excited about doing a show on SIRIUS Satellite Radio," said Hawk. "Music has always been
a huge part of what I do, and now I can share my influences and experiences with the world. It will also
fit in perfectly with SIRIUS Faction's diverse format. Expect to hear interviews with interesting guests and
a wide range of music from my world."

Scott Greenstein, President of Entertainment and Sports at SIRIUS, commented, "Tony is the world's most visible action sport athlete and he's perfectly suited to become Faction's first on-air host. Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio is yet another example of
the cutting-edge programming available only on SIRIUS."

Over the next few months, SIRIUS will roll out
additional star athletes who are slated to have their
own shows on Faction.

Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio is available with every SIRIUS subscription at no extra charge. SIRIUS radios for the car and home are available at Radio Shack,
Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City and other electronics retailers around the country. To learn more, listen to SIRIUS live or find a SIRIUS retailer in your area,
