Legendary NFL quarterback Brett Favre, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this August, will be a host this upcoming season on SiriusXM NFL Radio, SiriusXM's 24/7 NFL channel. It will be the first regular sports media role for the three-time NFL MVP since he retired after the 2010 season. Favre will host a series of hour-long broadcasts during the season beginning August 5, with a special "Town Hall" style show from Canton, where he and other members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2016 will be enshrined the next day.

After the Hall of Fame show, Favre will host the show live on a regular basis starting in September. He and co-host Bruce Murray will discuss the headline news happening around the NFL, analyze the league's teams and players, and share his experiences from his career and his life since retiring. Listeners will have the opportunity to call in to the show and talk with a player who rewrote the game's record book over his 20-year professional career.

"I am looking forward to working with SiriusXM NFL Radio this season," said Favre. "I've been a listener, both when I played and after I retired, and it's a great place to talk about the game. I'm excited to talk with fans and weigh in with my opinions on what's happening in the league, and it'll be fun talking to some former colleagues now and then."

"Brett was a once-in-a-generation player. His career, and particularly the enthusiasm with which he played the game, enthralled all football fans," added SiriusXM's Senior VP/Sports Programming Steve Cohen. "His passion and free-spirited personality are perfect for radio. We are thrilled to have him make his debut on SiriusXM NFL Radio and we're excited to give our listeners access to the insight and expertise of one of the greatest players to ever play the game."
