Is a channel switch an option?

I'm grabbing at straws here. I really like my 4-7 ATR.

How Sirius programming works is a mystery, to be sure. There have been a couple of occasions that ATR was bumped for NASCAR coverage when the same exact NASCAR coverage was on another channel. I'd bounce back and forth between the channels hearing the same thing as was like, wtf?

My hope is they move ATR to the morning so that the station would carry racing all day. I'm sure sirius got some complaints about taking off live racing to go to a talk show. Lets hope that their plan is to have ATR as a lead in to all day racing. Probably not but we can hope.

Not. They hardly ever play TVG on Saturdays.

Here is a link to write to them with complaints. Not sure if it will make a difference or not though.

Another mystery to me was cancelling the punk channel and telling people to listen to Faction instead.

Ok whatever, but when Steve isn't live and I want to listen to music on my way home they have fcking Jason Ellis on.

I can't understand why you would take a winner of a show and move it up in the day to go against other sports talk programming. This change in the industry is almost as unsettling as the advent of artificial surfaces rather than dirt.
