Thread: Sirius Satellite Radio - Bodybuilding Talk Show!

• When Dan Solomon talked to me about a bodybuilding radio show 2+ years ago, no one thought that it would bring in another genre to the way to read, listen to and hear about bodybuilding, but it did. Many tune in almost every week to hear what is the latest on bodybuilding, and various special guests that they bring on. And on the eve of Pro Bodybuilding Radio's 55th show, it is with delight that they have sealed a deal with Sirius Satellite Radio to broadcast the show to an audience of five million people currently. It is nice to see bodybuilding expanding. And I am glad that Getbig.com is there for the radio show, helping to tell bodybuilding fans about it, and connecting people who are interested in bodybuilding and the sport together.

• Dan and Bob Cicherillo, his co-host, have a lot to be thankful this week. The show, while not leaving internet radio, is going on satellite next year, Dan's wife is about the have a baby (this week), and Bob's wife is next in a month or two. Life in 2007 is just going to get better for these two, and congratulations on all!
  Here is the breaking new release on the announcement.
