SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary with a 10-Part Awards Series
The channel is showcasing many of the best moments and performers of the last decade in fantasy sports.
SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio is marking the 10th anniversary of its groundbreaking launch by airing a special 10-part series that showcases many of the best moments and performers of the last 10 years in fantasy sports, and also honors some of SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio’s most passionate listeners.
A new broadcast debuts every Wednesday and Friday through the end of July, each focused on honoring great (and some not-so-great) moments and performances.
In the first two episodes, SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio unveils its all-decade teams for football and baseball, naming the best fantasy performers at each position in those sports. Subsequent shows celebrate the best NFL offenses for fantasy football, “sleepers,” clutch performers, rookies, and single-game performances, as well as the most memorable fantasy football “busts” and the most unfortunate “bad beats” that proved unlucky for fantasy owners.
The channel is dedicating the 10th and final episode to revealing its “Subscriber Ring of Honor,” celebrating its loyal listeners from the last 10 years. SiriusXM will select 10 winning listeners in 10 fun categories, including Best Fantasy Football League, Best Fantasy Team Name, Best Fantasy Football Commissioner, Most Knowledgeable Fantasy Sports Radio Listener, and others. The winners will receive customized rings and be invited onto the show. They will also participate in a special SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio fantasy football league this season. Starting July 14, subscribers can enter for a chance to be considered for the SiriusXM Fantasy Sport Radio “Subscriber Ring of Honor.”
