Facts are that there is one sattelite radio company with one dedicated horse racing program.

Thats it. Except for some special occasional local radio programming, Steve is it. He is the king of all (horse racing) media. Sorry Howard.

Lets just say thanks to Steve for having a program and for all the effort he puts into it. It is a passion for him and I enjoy the show regardless of when i listen to it.

As far as the cancelling customers go, this board has the following:
Members: 1,489, Active Members: 924

If we all canceled would that help or hurt Steve's chances of keeping the program? Would sirius even care?

Given that Sirius has about 8 million subscribers, I can't imagine that the company would even notice.

They should notice any subscriber paying the full amount. I'd say only a quarter of that number do pay the full monthly fee.

They should really care about every subscriber due to the fact that if Stern does not renew Sirius is history.

Thanks T/R! KC and I and the regulars will do all in our power to make the 'new' show as good as it can be.

Glad to hear Deb... I hope people can fit the live or replay show in their schedule or at least get podcasts for listening later. The show will be up online as stream and archive by noon daily, so afternoon listeners can conceivably get a download by early afternoon and still enjoy it on the drive home. KC and I will be working on info to help everyone that wants to do that. I'm doing the best I can, and am grateful to SiriusXM for wanting to keep ATR going on their schedule.
