Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio will broadcast from a custom-designed SIRIUS studio at Hawk's new practice facility in California. Hawk will deliver his personal slant on the action sports lifestyle that he is largely responsible for bringing to the public consciousness.
The show will launch Tuesday, July 20 at 6:00pm ET and will be uncensored and commercial-free.
According to Forbes Magazine, Tony Hawk's brand generated $300 million in retail sales in 2003. The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video games have become one of the most successful game series in the world. Hawk also enjoyed success with his 32-city U.S. Boom Boom HuckJam action sports tour, which has successfully played to sold-out arenas for the past two years.
"I am very excited about doing a show on SIRIUS Satellite Radio," said Hawk. "Music has always been a huge part of what I do, and now I can share my influences and experiences with the world. It will also fit in perfectly with SIRIUS Faction's diverse format. Expect to hear interviews with interesting guests and a wide range of music from my world."
Over the next few months, SIRIUS will roll out additional star athletes who are slated to have their own shows on Faction.
Tony Hawk's Demolition Radio is available as part of SIRIUS' regular programming to subscribers.
