]]>The show covers the gamut of NHL topics, and includes commentary, interviews with league players, coaches, and executives, and also takes phone calls from listeners. To the latter category, they may now add ‘viewers’. The exposure can only help XM Radio grow the current subscriber base of just under 14 million listeners, and will also offer a much wider audience for the NHL Network (currently available in over 86 million homes).
