I greatly appreciate everyone's thoughts regarding the move and the incredibly generous support. At the heart of Sirius' request is ATR's availability for free on the net. They have annually asked in contract discussions that the show not stream live, and we have politely declined to end the stream knowing that a great number of listeners enjoy the show that way.
Sirius has been very supportive of ATR for a long time, and I understand their need to promote exclusive content in their most marketable slots. They have created some new programming, and want to get it on during 4-7p and seem to have little room for all of us. There are details to work out yet, but I'm trying to find ways to deliver the show to listeners when and how they want it. Thanks to everyone for their heartening eagerness to have 'At the Races' as part of their lives. Steve

When it comes to this great sport Sirius/XM could care less about us consumers. Looks like I will be saving a few dollars if that is going to be the schedule. Fridays nights Sirius has a stupid boxing show on that lasts for two hours.

Many months ago, I told the story of receiving a Sirius subscription as a Christmas gift from my kids and my initial thought was "what the heck am I going to do with this?". But my son immediately told me of a racing channel, and I soon received my introduction to ATR and Steve Byk. Within a matter of weeks I heard about the DT 04 offer, and not only was I hooked as a listner, but I immediately became a partner, too. I met Steve at Saratoga and my sons and I made it to Aqueduct this winter/spring for a couple of Lloyd's races. This all came about because of my Sirius gift subscription. But I rarely have listened to anything but channel 126 since I received the gift . And I really have no desire to listen to anything but ATR. Count me in as another of the disenchanted. I, too will remain loyal to Steve, but my Sirius subscription will end the day Steve is no longer on Sirius!

Steve, the fact of the matter is, if Howard Stern does not re-sign, Sirius/XM will cease to exist shortly thereafter anyway. Better to find an alternative way to continue the show.

The internet availability is tough. I purchased an Sirius internet radio for my wife recently (and to get ATR at home). This requires additional iternet subscription. I was disapointed that 126 is not available on the Sirius internet.
Even as a Sirius subscriber, I sometimes use your site to catch portions of your show. Tough to limit your availability to stream, when not otherwise available on the net. Would think your streaming would create more Sirius/XM subscribers as opposed to be somehow competing... Best of luck. Hoping to have show back on my car radio soon.

Even though i know it will not last,today i heard all the races from Hollywood and the last 4-5 from Belmont. For the gambler, this is great. It would be paradise to have Steve in the morning from 6-9 and live calls from 1pm on. Im sure it will change though.
