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.

Not the outcome I was looking for, but it was quite admirable for Steve Cohen to take the time to explain exactly what was going on and why. Seemed like a good guy, and just taking the time to speak to us was above and beyond what I would have expected.

I cancel my subsciption
 Steve,I absolutely love ATR and you and K.C. and the whole gang but I had to cancel my subscription.as a consumer I felt I wasn't getting any customer service(as evidence by my 1 hr. on the phone to cancel) that we all should demand. I truly don't no any other way than to applie real monetary pressure on sirus and I think that we have to learn to listen to ATR any "free"method we can until they feel the sting of bad programming decisions I'll miss Howard and NFL and the music but most of all the easy access at my car radio to your show. I'll continue to call as "Tom from San Diego" from time to time and try to catch the show anyway I can without supporting sirus. Tom Goodman

As you guys said, and seemingly made happen, "At the Races" is now back 9a-12p on the Sirius dial at Ch. 211. The channel is part of the former 'Best of XM' programming, which is now known for subscription purposes as "Sirius Premier".
In addition to the extra play-by-play channels where ATR and TVG now reside, with Premier you also get the NHL, MLB Radio, PGA Tour, Playboy and Oprah (!) and more... It's an extra $4.04/month for Premier over Select, translating to .20/day for the 20+ editions of At the Races per month! I hope people don't mind the added expense and inconvenience of upgrading their subscriptions, and I can't thank the Sirius listeners enough for the overwhelming response they gave to the network to make this happen. Thanks! SIRIUS SUBSCRIPTION PAGE

So they're going the cable television route with "premier" packages.
Scum.

Glad to know that your listeners were "heard" but I think what Sirius heard was, hmmm, we can suck more money from these people. It may be only a few dollars, however, I think that is rewarding them for kicking your show all over the dial and the clock. I, for one, will not participate - and I intend to call and write, again. They are not doing us any favors, just themselves.
I appreciate your efforts Steve, and your seemingly unending positive outlook!

My question:
I have an iphone and mac computer and have not been able to download the RSS feed or podcast to my phone. I have looked in ITunes and only find one show from 2007 - is it listed in itunes under a different name? Are there any other options of streaming straight from the iphone besides the sirius app? Thanks
