MLB Network Radio (formerly MLB Home Plate, Channel 89) is an American sports talk radio station on SiriusXM that features Major League Baseball related talk shows, as well as archives and live reports about live game action, along with other baseball leagues and teams worldwide.
The network also simulcasts live national play-by-play from games broadcast by Major League Baseball on ESPN Radio, along with occasional highlight coverage from other team radio networks.
MLB Home Plate launched in February 2005 to retain listeners with programs related to baseball when games were not occurring, and especially to provide continuing content during the hot stove season. MLB Network Radio is carried on XM channel 89, and was added to the "Best of XM" package on Sirius Satellite Radio on December 10, 2008, airing on channel 209.
