What happens to ratings if we’re all listening to archives? How does that work? I want to be supportive of Steve and his show but there’s no way I can listen live any longer. Even if I could stream at work, a show about horse racing and betting? OY!

I'll be listening if I get the stream working in work, but that's the only way I'll be able to listen. Yes, I will also use the archives as I have in the past.

Steve, I will do my best to support you no matter how the schedule and deal pan out. You're the best!

This really is a bad decision, but thats business now a days.Customer comes last too many times and we really see it when it comes to horse racing. Also many guys enjoy Howard Stern on siriusXM and thats the time he is on. Hope it works out, but not hearing live races and the west coast is kinda shut out makes it hard to swallow. Good Luck

Steve

XM does the TVG call of races during the day here on east coast. are they bumping them off the air. It wouldn't be bad to hear your guests in the AM. Might be tough to get some trainers as they are probably still at their barns doing AM workouts.

Explain to the SiriusXM people that when Kent goes on vacation he probably sleeps in. How are we supposed to catch him enjoying fizzy lifting drinks that early?

Hopefully your getting a raise and will be making the money you deserve for having far and away the best horse racing show on radio or television. The fact that you continuously fill 15 hours of air time each and every week makes your efforts extraordinary.

The day will come when you will have options in the industry that few others have. If Andy can become the best known handicapper working for the most influential racing circuit in the country, there is no reason why you cannot achieve a following of similar significance within a reasonable amount of time and growth. Good things continue to occur, they are just different not necessarily bad. Congrats are actually in order and are extended sincerely.

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.

I will do my best to listen whenever the show is on....the show has changed the way i bet after 30 years and actually made me a much better handicapper. Good luck in the new spot...you can always play live races from England....

Question Still streaming from 4 to 7 on the internet???

Steve,

Will the show be replayed in afternoon streaming (like it's now done after 7pm) and more importantly will it have the same time slot on the internet (from 4 to 7) each day. Although I have Sirus in my wife's car, most of the time I listen to the show on the streaming internet feed. Everything will work out for the best I'm sure

Wow...Looks like I will be listening to the replays alot and hopefully be able to catch a bit here and there at work. It seems like it could be a challenge, no live races, trainers may be difficult to connect with and some guests may not be available during that time slot.
It seems with all the channels available that play replays they should be able to move to one of those or just create a new station...
The only thing constant in life is change...good luck Steve.

Are Steve and ATR getting jerked around here? A lot of these posts have a real "R.I.P. ATR" feel to them. Is that what is officially going on? Or is this a good move for Steve and the show even though it isn't ideal for some of us? It seems to me like doing a show from 9 to noon might be easier on a man's life than getting off work at 7 p.m.

In any event, great show. I'll adjust eventually.

P.S. Sorry about my inappropriate "Coming to America" quote earlier. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

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
