SIRIUS Satellite Radio has announced skateboarder and TV personality Bam Margera is the latest celebrity athlete to host his own show on "SIRIUS Faction", the new music channel created especially for action sports enthusiasts.

Margera is the creator, producer, director and star of Viva La Bam, which enters its third season in October. He's also the co-creator and co-star of "Jackass" and "Jackass: The Movie", which has grossed over $100 million. Margera has been featured in several of the nation's top publications, including Rolling Stone, People, ESPN the Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Details and Revolver.

"I'm psyched to be joining Tony Hawk and the Faction team," Margera said. "Now we are finally going to be able to play some serious Scandinavian rock!"

Margera joins skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, world champion surfer Kelly Slater and Olympic competitor and beach volleyball champion Kerri Walsh as a host on SIRIUS Faction.

The yet-to-be-titled Margera radio show will launch this fall, exclusively on SIRIUS.
