SiriusXM announced that Georgetown University head basketball coach Patrick Ewing, who as a player led the Hoyas to the 1984 national championship before going on to a Hall of Fame NBA career, will host an exclusive new show on SiriusXM.
Center Court with Patrick Ewing, which Ewing will co-host with broadcaster and former NFL player Rick “Doc” Walker, will premiere this Sunday, January 27, at 11:00 am ET on ESPNU Radio on SiriusXM (channel 84), leading into the noon ET broadcast of Georgetown’s game against St. John’s.
Following Sunday’s premiere, Center Court with Patrick Ewing will air every Tuesday night, starting February 5, from 7:00 to 8:00 pm ET on ESPNU Radio on SiriusXM. Episodes of the show will also be available on demand on the SiriusXM app and at SiriusXM.com.
Each week, Ewing and Walker will discuss the latest in sports as well as the landscape of college basketball. A wide variety of topics will be discussed while bringing on a number of high-profile guests.
“I’m excited about working with Doc and having my show on SiriusXM,” Ewing said. “We plan on having a unique and informative, but most of all fun show, and being broadcast on SiriusXM will allow us to reach a national audience.”
“Following his Hall of Fame playing career, Patrick has built an impressive coaching resume over the last decade and a half, and he has fans very excited about what’s ahead for Georgetown basketball,” said Steve Cohen, SiriusXM’s SVP of Sports Programming. “We’re thrilled to welcome him to SiriusXM, where he’ll give our listeners an exclusive and inside look at the Hoyas on Center Court, and will have the freedom to share his important perspective from a long and storied career in college and professional basketball.”
