Walsh, Reporting From Athens for SIRIUS Faction, Wins Beach Volleyball Gold Medal NEW YORK, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) on-air personality Kerri Walsh is now an Olympic gold medal winner. Walsh and her partner Misty May defeated a team from Brazil Tuesday night in Athens, Greece to win top honors in the women's beach volleyball competition. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 ) Walsh joined SIRIUS shortly before the 2004 Summer Olympics and has been filing regular reports from the Olympic Village exclusively for Faction, the new action sports-themed music station heard exclusively on SIRIUS. Her "behind-the-scenes" updates have brought listeners from across the U.S. into her daily life in Athens, from the sands of the beach volleyball court to the nightlife. SIRIUS subscribers can now hear what it's like to win an Olympic medal directly from the gold medalist herself. Arguably the best female volleyball player in history, it only makes sense that Kerri Walsh join the ranks of skateboarding icon Tony Hawk and surfing legend Kelly Slater as a regular on SIRIUS Faction, the commercial-free, uncensored, innovative music channel created especially for action sports enthusiasts. Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports said, "We congratulate Kerri Walsh and Misty May on their amazing string of victories in Athens, and are thrilled to have her in the Faction family." Over the next few months, SIRIUS will announce additional star athletes who will join Kerri Walsh, Tony Hawk, Kelly Slater and Bam Margera on Faction's on-air team.
