That's what I don't understand. I thought the recent channel update was to synchronize both the Sirius and XM channel lineups. Why does XM get ATR uninterrupted and Sirius only get the first hour? Makes no sense...

If I could, I would hire Seal Team 6 to get to the bottom of this and find the person responsible.

The best comment was this AM on XM when a caller asked Steve for the sports programmers home address. He was going to "speak" to the man...Steve didnt think that would be a wise idea...the callers comeback was "after I get done with him, you'll have a five hour show!" CLASSIC

I liked what Alan in Kentucky had to say too

He seems like a pretty decent guy.

That was the one and only 'Robert from Arozone'... Former Turf Paradise trainer and current over-the-road big rig driver.

He wasn't kidding.

That's awesome. What other show gets that kind of loyalty? Hoping that the non-felony approach works to get you back to full air coverage.

The computer voice at Sirius is telling me that I am important to them........
10 minutes and still holding.

At 11 minutes, I get Kerpal, he asked me my phone number and why I didn't want to continue my Sirius. I started to tell him,now have Ms. Automatic Voice along with their bell ringing "jittery music".

17:13 and no word from Kerpal. Maybe he's checking his dog.

I hope the battery in my phone holds out.

27:48 Now I have a nice fellow in Iowa who speaks English. He's arranging the cancellation and checking with a supervisor to arrange a confirmation email (not normally done).

He's back and I'm cancelled at the end of my service (May 23). Total time right at a half hour.
