Jimmie Johnson to host talk show on XM Radio
Jimmie Johnson, star NASCAR Nextel Cup driver will begin hosting a radio show on XM starting in February of ‘06. The format of the show is a mixed talk/music, in which Jimmie would discuss the latest in the world of NASCAR as well as his own tastes in music and a variety of interests.
“I’m extremely excited to be part of the XM family,” Johnson said in a statement. “For a few years I’ve been searching for the right outlet to give people an opportunity to get to know a side of me away from the race track. XM approached me with the idea of having a national weekly radio show and it was the perfect fit.”
This is a brand-deepening move for XM. The satellite radio provider already offers two NASCAR channels, XM 144 and XM 145.
