Birmingham's WJOX sports radio personality Paul Finebaum has accepted a deal to take his show national on Sirius/XM satellite radio. The show should be available next week:
Pat Smith -- who, as director of the Paul Finebaum Radio Network, handled most of the negotiations with Sirius XM -- said the satellite network plans to use Finebaum's show to anchor its college sports package.

"They contacted me right after Alabama's national championship game and immedi­ately wanted to pursue negotiations at landing us on the channel," Smith said.

"They are kind of revamping their whole college sports programming, and they wanted us to be a part of it."
