I am sure the programming people are looking at the channels and the only thing live on 126 is ATR from 4-7 Eastern and then repalys of ATR. They have several hours of advertising their own programming throughout the day (killing time until Steve comes on at 4). They probably looked at it as preempting 1hr of 1 show vs. preempting whole shows on other channels.
I don't like it, but I can see why it is being done. The only real way to stop it is for everyone to listen everyday. Get the ratings high enough that they wouldn't consider preempting 1 minute of the show.
