DirecTV has announced that Dan Patrick will kick off his Sports show on The 101 at 9:00 AM on August 3. The show will run Monday to Friday on DIRECTV’s The 101 channel. Dan Patrick will deliver 250 shows a year for DirecTV.
Patrick had a long career at ESPN as an anchor on SportsCenter, where he was partnered with Keith Olbermann, and also hosted The Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio. He left ESPN in August of 2007 and formed a partnership with The Content Factory, launching a new version of the The Dan Patrick Show that airs daily on FoxSports Radio, Sirius XM’s Sirius XM Sports Nation and on his Web site DanPatrick.com.
Eric Shanks, executive vice president of Entertainment at DIRECTV said “Dan is much taller and funnier in person and when he’s not behind a desk, you never know what Dan could do whenever he is left to his own devices but it sounds like it will be a twisted version of “The Office” with some guests and sports commentary mixed in-at least that’s what he is telling us anyway.”
