Exclamation ATR: SXM channel & time changes, return of replays..

As partially discussed the last couple days, there are some changes coming on the network over the next 2 weeks as Sirius 93 & XM 208 become Bleacher Report Radio..
  • 1. Starting Tuesday 9/2, ATR will return to 9a-12p..
  • 2. Next week, 9/2-9/12, we will be on SportsZone Online only..
  • 3. Starting 9/15, ATR will have new channels: Sirius 220 (Premium) & XM 206..
  • 4. Morning 6-9a Replays return (!) starting 9/15..
  • 5. ATR will be available on SXM On Demand soon..
Still some details forthcoming and to be finalized, but didn't want to wait until Monday to try and lay it all out. Will answer as many questions as I can (based on what I have)..

So this means the regular Sirius subscribers are out of luck?

The show started on Sirius and now if you don't buy XM you don't get it.

Bull **** !

That's a result of XM always having had more Sports channels.. They knew they were going to have MLB so they gave more room to Sports than Sirius.

I just looked it up. Its only 4 bucks more per month for premium package. I will also get internet access which I don't have now. I will also now get the replay show from 6am-9am which I miss when I'm on the road early. Looks like a Win/Win to me!

Keep us up to date on that Steve. I'd prefer not to upgrade if I don't have to, but I need my ATR!

Steve.
Any update on a promo code for the Sirius upgrade?

Also, can you take advantage of the channel change to fix the silly weekend schedule of cutting away at noon PT/3 ET from the live races on HRTV to replays of trainer talk?
Thanks,

Bill..

Sports Dept. requested a promo code and is waiting for an answer..

Aware of the wasted time on weekends and will inquire about it.

Received updates yesterday and do know that Glenn Ordway will be on 220/206 with ATR 3-6p. HRRN will be on 6-7p Wed-Thurs-Fri. Not positive, but imagine HRTV audio will be on noon-3p.

Sounds like a winner to me since I have missed the replays during my drive time to work. Someone quoted $4 per month upgrade for the package to include "ATR" and if that's true, that's $4 well invested with no 23% track takeout. I am in!

Any word on how this will impact Dave Johnson and Bill Finley and their Down the Stretch Show? Used to listen on weekends, especially on my way to the track.
