NEW YORK – October 20, 2009 – SIRIUS XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) announced today that Mike Krzyzewski, the head coach of the Duke University and USA Men’s Basketball teams, will return to host his weekly talk show, Basketball and Beyond with Coach K.  The show’s fifth season debuts Wednesday, October 21 (7:00-8:00 pm ET), on SIRIUS XM’s all-sports channel, Mad Dog Radio, SIRIUS channel 123 and XM channel 144.
