NEW YORK, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS XM Radio (Nasdaq:
SIRI) announced today that internationally acclaimed tennis superstar
Monica Seles will host an exclusive live call-in show aimed at
empowering women everywhere to lead their best life. The Monica Seles
Challenge: 5 Weeks to Jump Start Your Life will air in five weekly
installments airing every Thursday from September 4th through October
2nd from 1:00 - 3:00 pm ET on SIRIUS Stars channel 102. Seles will
host the show from SIRIUS XM Radio's Rockefeller Center studios.

Seles has long been a role model for women and on SIRIUS she will have
a forum to speak candidly about both the troubles and successes she
faced in her own life and how these experiences made her stronger.
With The Monica Seles Challenge, Seles encourages listeners to join
her on a five-week journey toward feeling strong, beautiful, happy and
healthy - on the inside and out. Seles' goal is to help women realize
their best possible selves across all aspects of their lives,
personal, professional, emotional and beyond.

Seles will welcome expert guests, athletes, celebrities and real women
and will take calls from around the country.

"I love radio and the unique way it has to reach out to people with a
real and personal exchange of ideas and stories," said Monica Seles.
"SIRIUS has provided just such an opportunity for me, my studio guests
and the SIRIUS audience to share our life experiences, learn from
them, and hopefully forge ahead into a happier and healthier future."

"Monica Seles is an extraordinary person whose passion, determination
and courage - both on and off the court - shaped her into the
world-class athlete and woman she is today," said Scott Greenstein,
President and Chief Content Officer, SIRIUS XM Radio. "On SIRIUS,
these qualities will translate into compelling radio as she empowers
and inspires listeners across the country."

Over Seles' extraordinary tennis career, she earned nine Grand Slam
titles and won 53 singles and six doubles tournaments. She first
became No. 1 in the world in March 1991. Seles was No. 1 for 178 weeks
during the next two years- the youngest No. 1 ever at the time- until
tragedy struck in April 1993 when she was stabbed in the back by a
deranged fan during a match in Germany. She wasn't able to play again
for more than two years. When she returned to tennis, she won hearts
with her comeback win at the Canadian Open and then reached the US
Open Final the following month. Remarkably, she won her ninth Grand
Slam title at the Australian Open in January 1996. Seles joined the
cast of ABC-TV's hit "Dancing with the Stars" in 2008. Seles is
currently writing her memoir, Getting a Grip: On My Body, My Mind, My
Self, in which she explores her remarkable journey of tennis, fame,
tragedy, loss and self-discovery. Her book is scheduled for
publication in March 2009 by Avery, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA).
