![]() 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.

![]() Basically said that the extra sports programming is for displace Chicagoians (sp) and New Yorkers so they could hear their hometown sports. SiriusXm is not abondoning Horse racing they just don't have the band width to broadcast it at the present. Steve Cohen is pushing for a full time Horse Racing station on the Sat 2.0, but isn't sure if it will be rolled out. He seems to be a racing fan himself and wants to air horse racing programming. He mentioned that he offered Steve the 7 - 10 window but doesn't know what Steve wants to do. Maybe golfer can add more.

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

![]() There seems to be some confusion. I was just told by Steve Cohen that the live 3 hours of ATR is NOT available on the Premier (best of XM) package for Sirius.

Those that felt it was unfair to be offered the choice to subscribe to Sirius Premier to access all 3 hours of ATR live have been recognized by the network. Due to a handful of complaints in that regard, they have decided NOT to offer transmission of the show and TVG audio on Ch. 211 as they do not want the listners to think the scheduling changes were done with the intent of gaining additional subscriber revenue. As a result, no one gets to choose. Anyone who already subscribed to Premier should send me an Email (sbyk@nycap.rr.com) with their subscriber information, and I will forward it to New York for a refund. I apologize for the confusion and inconvenience, and am sorry that the opportunity to reach Hours 2 & 3 of ATR live on Sirius continues to be up in the air.
