With the pending Sirius-XM merger being formalized sometime in the near future, they don't know how their scheduling is going to work out once they absorb the XM programming which includes a handful of XM channels JUST for major league baseball...

They are however, happy to let us continue on a month-by-month basis with no guarantees for how things shake out down the road. JJ Graci is not going to continue with it on that basis though, and is in the process of creating an exciting new Internet-based sports/racing broadcasting network that he is going to launch soon.

"At the Races" continues though, and I'll do my best to keep building on what we've done, hoping that once the Sirius-XM merger is completed they will want to commit to a new deal.

I love the show as you know, and it's one of my main reasons for having Sirius. Best of luck to JJ in his future endeavors. I know you will do your best to keep the show rolling as it seems to have reached a point where the top horsemen are very interested in getting involved.

Having the all-baseball stations will be nice, but that's a lot of 'dead air' space from 11 pm till 7 pm every day. Sounds like a programming opportunity to me.
