PROGRAMMING NOTE: 'New' 9a-12n ATR set for 6/28 bow

[GoIrish]

Well, add me to the list of unhappy people. Can't stream at work. Ruins my drive home. There goes my last reason for paying for Sirius. I will let my subscription expire. Sorry Steve, this has to hurt, but the main reason I keep renewing my contract is your show. Without it, I'm gone. Hopefully we can still listen to the archives on your website. Won't help me in the car though.

Scat OUT

this blows, you would think by now the horseplayer has been screwed every way imaginable, yet sirius has dug deeper to find a new low. Always got your back Steve and will listen to the archives but 9-12 just doesnt work for me. F u sirius

Going to miss the live feed from the Carolina this summer. Great info from 4-7 top trainers & jockey's stopping to chat, live race calls from the great Saratoga coming up the Northway from work...GONE?

Everyone that follows this show or website should take the time to send a quick email to Sirius voicing our displeasure with this decision. There is still "strength in numbers" if we all follow.

Scat OUT

well steve
if these guys in front of me havent said it the way it is
i dont know how we can
i hope you take note of all the bad and not one good post here
with the time change
people always looked forward to you and your picks when it came to west coast racing
just a shame

Byk will be on HRTV in no time if they know what is good for them.

[Chalky]

I trade one commute coverage for the other out here on the west coast....now I hear you while driving to work, rather than coming from work.

Glad the contract got worked out, that was not easy I'm sure.

I have to say i am torn here about the time change. Monday and Tues., I depend on ATR to get me thru the last 3 hours of my 12 hour days, so this sux there! On the other hand, Wed., and Thurs., i get off work before the show starts. So with this move at least i would get to here the show each morning, so that part is good. No more live racing is another bad part i totally agree with everyone there. Steve, I am not sure overall this move is best for the show in terms of ratings. However, if the Sirius people are telling you take it or leave it, then i guess it's the only thing to do. I know i speak for alot of folks on here, and out in the listening audience when i say we do NOT wanna lose ATR!

[alphanumeric1]

ATR in the morning is better than no ATR...but really...do the programming people understand that a show about racing during the prime racing hours (live calls) is what makes this show even more enjoyable? I can't imagine a Friday before the Derby without the call of the Oaks on ATR...etc. etc. etc.

I am sorry that racing fans are being dealt another bad hand. Steve, you should have the programming people read this thread.

I wonder if they will have TVG the rest of the day, giving us the live race calls of the NY and California tracks they cover. That would be a nice change, Steve in the morning and live race calls of all the races in the afternoon.

Everyone needs to relax. As we go through life we have to make adjustments and changes. Someone said "nothing is forever"

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.
