With the arrival of the PGA Tour Network, channel 143 ended up being pre-empted on the weekends due to bandwidth considerations.
Programming from XM's NASCAR Radio channel was merged into XM Sports Nation, including Claire B. Lang's afternoon show, both Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s live half-hour shows, and Joe Castello and Thommy Noodlez remained on Powershift from 8 to 10 pm ET.
More content from Sporting News Radio was sacrificed to make these changes, which included more replays of XMSN originals.
As of February 2007, the only weekday host from Sporting News Radio that continue to air on XMSN is Tony Bruno show.
In addition, XMSN began airing Tony Kornheiser's radio show, which broadcasts from WTWP, on March 5, 2007.
