NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Sirius Satellite Radio, the service that is set to bring shock jock Howard Stern to subscribers, has announced a deal with one of the least shocking hosts, Bill Bradley, the former basketball start and senator known for his reserved manner.

Bradley is to host a show called "American Voices," starting in May. It'll be a weekly talk show that will feature varied stories, personalities and opinions from a broad cross section, according to a statement Wednesday from Sirius (Research).

A statement from Bradley said the show will be nonpartisan.

"'American Voices' will focus on the common humanity of our citizens and will recognize those extraordinary individuals who make a difference in their communities," said a statement from Bradley.

Bradley played for the New York Knicks for 10 years, being inducted into the hall of fame in 1982. He was elected to the Senate in 1978 and served three terms. He also ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2000. He currently serves as a managing director at Allen & Company.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Stern's deal, announced in October, is reportedly worth $500 million over five years. He is set to start at Sirius in January.
