Sirius has been very supportive of ATR for a long time, and I understand their need to promote exclusive content in their most marketable slots. They have created some new programming, and want to get it on during 4-7p and seem to have little room for all of us. There are details to work out yet, but I'm trying to find ways to deliver the show to listeners when and how they want it. Thanks to everyone for their heartening eagerness to have 'At the Races' as part of their lives.

If the new programming you write of is the wrestling and fighting shows currently on from 2-4, that's a joke. Who do they possibly think listens to that stuff?
Steve, the fact of the matter is, if Howard Stern does not re-sign, Sirius/XM will cease to exist shortly thereafter anyway. Better to find an alternative way to continue the show.
