Big 12 Conference and SiriusXM Launch Big 12 Nation

This week, SiriusXM and the Big 12 Conference are teaming up to launch Big 12 Nation, a weekly show on SiriusXM Big 12 Radio that will showcase the Conference's Olympic Sports, providing coverage of Big 12 student-athletes and teams across the Conference. Big 12 Nation will include game highlights, student-athlete interviews, and in-depth coverage of all the action taking place across the Big 12.

"As the popularity of Olympic Sports continues to grow, it's critically important that our media platforms and their coverage grow alongside them," said Commissioner Yormark. "We are thrilled to work with SiriusXM to bolster coverage of Olympic Sports through Big 12 Nation - our student-athletes have incredible stories and successes on and off the field, and we look forward to those being told."

"The Big 12 Conference has so many great student-athletes and teams that are competing in sports that are not covered by many other outlets," said Eric Spitz, SiriusXM's VP of Sports Programming. "There are Big 12 fans around the country who love their Big 12 football and basketball teams, but also want more coverage of the conference's Olympic Sports. We're excited and proud to work with the Big 12 to deliver that coverage to those fans on SiriusXM Big 12 Radio."

Big 12 Nation is hosted by Chris Plank and will air every Friday at 10 a.m. (CT). The SiriusXM Big 12 Radio channel is available to subscribers nationwide in their cars (channel 375) and on the SiriusXM app.
