Don't judge sirius by this week.. If you like ATRAB, music, sports, Stern, talk, etc. it's a must while you are driving. Sure, one or two weeks a year they preempt the show, but there are still 50 other weeks in the year. Its a great ~$120 for the year investment! - especially if you drive more than 20 minutes a day total to work and back.

If you have issues with Sirius, do yourself a favor and call support instead of email. I've gotten much further in voicing issues/concerns over the phone in my few instances.

LOL, you're right ...

What ticked me off was that, even with the tennis ending early, they didn't cut back into ATR until 5:00pm, they just filled the air time with commerical content.

Hey, can you make it to Arlington?

we swear by sirius! don't think we'd be without it now. it came with my wife's new car, we liked it so much we bought the boom box kit for in the house. (mostly for Alabama Football)
ATR is the only talk program i listen to on sirius and look forward to it when i get off work. they moved ATR races once to it's own channel, now they pre-empt it with tennis, just doesn't make sense. tennis and soccer, you may as well watch paint dry.

I really like that they cut away to the race call.

$120 a year ain't bad

I could care less about Howard Stern. I would like to find a station that plays music that isn't what I wanted them to play 20 years ago. I still like that stuff just want to hear hat's new and I don't mean top 40

ATRAB is puttng me n a different routine and it's bad
I used to go for bike rides now I just listen to the show. Listen to Steve interview the stars of the "industry" and talk about horses and races.

If you like music, you'll love sirius.

channel 7= 70's
channel 8 = 80's
channel 9 = 90's and now
channel 21 = alt rock

all commercial free, only drawback is you might get into an accident flipping through all the channels. There are about 70 music channels alone

Channel 16 - The Vault

For those who may not be aware, if you have a Sirius subscription, you have access to a lot of their programming over the internet (I think all the music?). For an extra $2 or $3 bucks a month you get a "premium" feed i.e. higher Bandwidth. Just click on "listen Online" from their home page. I spend more time listening at my computer than in the car.

Aww how sweet. We take our football very seriously down here.hehe I have been going to Tiger games since I can remember. My first crush,,,ok ok before Randy Romeo, whos family used to race agianst mine down here, was Tommy Hodson, whom I got to meet in the Tiger Locker room one day, lets just say there was a table, towel and one very embarrassed highschool girl (me). My coach that took us on the tour knew of my crush and decided that I should show him how we rub down horses who has sore muscles since his hammy was hurting. My friend still teases me about that to this day.

tommy hodson, thats a blast from the SEC past. hodson's sr. year, i sat sat in Legion Field and watched him kill us!
Bama-Lsu is a strange series. Baton Rouge used to be our second home. Bama didn't lose in BR for 30 plus years, but Lsu can win at Bama.
