That's good to hear. I can only hope that they don't frig it up on XM next.

Like it !! Of course never received any sort of promised "24-hour" response from the customer service link off their site - what's Mr. Cohen's email, anyone?? Will be nice, just to the point ...

Does anyone know if it's feasible to switch to XM using existing hardware? My vehicle came with Sirius, but I'm not sure if I can switch over on the fly or if hardware needs to be swapped out, which would make it a no-go.

It's good to know that we might have gotten their attention. I think it's important to hit the programming e-mails again a little head of the Belmont Stakes just so they don't forget we're out here and are not happy.

Go Irish, it would take a hardware change.

Given the way ATR has been kicked around the clock and dial, I am hesitant to invest in any new package or equipment. I did send an e-mail to the customer service address, my contract is up July 1 and I asked to be given the Best of XM package FREE, until they can air all 3 CONTINUOUS, LIVE hours of ATR on Sirius. Once that is accomplished they can roll back the XM package from me -

We shall see if I ever get a response.

If they do it's the end of my three subscriptions to XM. I like some of the music channels, but I love ATR. There isn't reason enough for me to keep XM without the full three hours of ATR every morning.

I have three also, and I'm with you 100%. As it is, I only hear the replays (part of them) daily on XM. It's rare that I get to partake live on XM - usually if I listen live it's via the stream.

I'm lucky in that i listen I my droid. I do have an issue though. Why is it that the broadcast only comes through on 1 channel sound wise. I work and listen in a loud environment ( a brewery ) and its hard to hear. As soon as a commercial comes on (unless its a horse industry ad) both stereo channels come on and the volume is too loud. I know its not my phone. Anyone else find this incredibly annoying?

I listen on a regular Sirius radio and have noticed the same thing, that I have to turn the volume up way higher than normal to hear the show, and if I go to another channel it is way too loud. Perhaps there is a way KC could turn up the volume of the show? Thanks.

The commercials were blaring this AM this morning listening through my home computer! Holy Moly...interesting that when Steve comes back on the air after a break, his voice volume is the same as the commercials and then it goes down a bit! That might be KC lowering it in the studio?!? Thinking that maybe the commercials are done by Sirius/XM in their studios and not KC?

I've been on vacation so I've missed all of this. I agree with you, I hope they don't screw up XM.

I am also luckily an XM subscriber who empathizes with the Sirius subscribers who got the raw end of the shaft here. I believe Steve's show was initially on Sirius and only got to XM with the merger.

I am a displaced Chicagoan living in Louisville so I can understand their decision with Waddle and Silvy (best talk show for Chicago sports fans -- Silvy is a die-hard Cubs fan). It is on XM 210 even though I am usually at work by that time. I noticed yesterday on XM209 that TVG broadcast from noon until late into the evening (I thought TVG stopped at 7:00pm).

It does sound like the management at XMSirius truly is searching for a solution -- so do not give up yet (from what I have seen, Steve will be relentless is finding a solution).
