Mavericks owner getting 2-hour show on Sirius Satellite Radio

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is getting his own two-hour weekly show on Sirius Satellite Radio, adding an outspoken personality to a stable of hosts that includes shock jock Howard Stern.
“Howard Stern won’t have anything on me,” :rolleyes Cuban wrote in an e-mail. “I’m going to cover everything and anything, from sports to business to technology, movies and entertainment. I’m going to take full advantage of the no-holds barred opportunity that Sirius is offering me.”
Cuban, 47, who has been fined more than $1 million for criticizing National Basketball Association referees and who drew the ire of Commissioner David Stern for saying the Kobe Bryant rape case would bolster the league’s popularity, will host his weekly talk show beginning this summer.
Mark Cuban’s Radio Maverick will air on Sirius - the official satellite radio partner of the NBA - Sundays from 11 to 1 p.m. CDT.
“Mark Cuban is candid, animated and incredibly accomplished, having achieved extraordinary success at a young age in the worlds of business and sports,” Scott Greenstein, president of entertainment and sports for New York-based Sirius, said in a statement.
Cuban co-founded the Broadcast.com multimedia Web service and sold it to Yahoo! for $4.7 billion in 1999. Later that year, he bought the Mavericks. In 2001, Cuban co-founded HDNet, an all high-definition TV network. He’s also the owner of 2929 Productions, which makes movies with $10 million to $40 million budgets.
11AM-1PM CDT (10-noon EDT) Sundays? That's some prime radio real estate :lol
