ATR PROGRAMMING UPDATE: 'Premier' choice reversed; Back to square one

[ranger5830]

I listen on a regular Sirius radio and have noticed the same thing, that I have to turn the volume up way higher than normal to hear the show, and if I go to another channel it is way too loud. Perhaps there is a way KC could turn up the volume of the show? Thanks.

The commercials were blaring this AM this morning listening through my home computer! Holy Moly...interesting that when Steve comes back on the air after a break, his voice volume is the same as the commercials and then it goes down a bit! That might be KC lowering it in the studio?!? Thinking that maybe the commercials are done by Sirius/XM in their studios and not KC?

I have a lifetime subscription to Sirius. It doesn't include the XM package. Today, I called customer service and explained I only got satellite radio for ATR and although they were able to help at all with info about the programs future, they gave me 4 free months of internet radio that I can hear thru the iphone app. Will this enable me to hear the full show or does it just let me listen to the same format I get in my car?

Wow. Nice! 4 months free? That's cool. You're in.. The internet service has the full show on SportsZone (Ch. 860). And as Vince from CA explained today, there is equipment out there that will let you hook the phone up to your car radio too.

Would that be considered a redboard? Just askin.

So I finally got around to complaining to SiriusXm about their decision to preempt ATR's last two hours of the show. I CC'd S.B. on the e-mail who has my permission to repost the e-mail he sees fit. I must've struck a nerve or sent it to some one with "some juice" as not 15 minutes later I get an e-mail from Steve Cohen asking me for a phone number so he could call me to discuss my e-mail and Sirius XM horse racing programming. I must say wasn't expecting that type of response.

Bottom line is I'll need to subscribe to the "app subscription" or the "Best of XM" as the Show will be broadcast starting Monday on Sirius in its entirety as part of the Best of XM package only on channel 211.

At least all of our complaining isn't falling on deaf ears.

Yeah and you'll conveniently pay more for the service. Really an awful company that inflates subscription numbers to stay afloat.

Same here, just spoke to Steve Cohen for about 20 minutes. We are not getting the last 2 hours back on channel 93, but he's a stand-up guy, I'll give him that.

Am I reading this correctly? As of Monday ATR won't be on Sirius AT ALL?

So if you've got a lifetime subscription to Sirius, you'll only need to add the smartphone app (2.99 a month, which also gives you enhanced internet audio streaming as well) and you'll get the full show on the SportsZone via the app, no?

No offense, but I can't see buying the best of XM as there is absolutely nothing of value in it other than ATR / TVG.

I understand the dynamics, and they are making an effort to appease their subscription base which is pretty cool, but a pretty crappy move nonetheless to take legacy program and moving it to the other side in order to get subscribers to shell out more dough for something they bought in the first place.

Hope this isn't the beginning of a trend.

I'm with you on this. I have a lifetime subscription as well. They should at least move the show back to 4-7 pm for the trouble
