Default XM & ATR Radio question

Just got a new ride with XM and I thought ATR was on 104 - but the radio doesnt have 104 on it...is it becasue I have the incorrect channel or because the initial free package is not complete with all the XM offerings?

Thanks

I am pretty sure that you have to subscribe to the best of Sirius which will get you not only ATR, but Howard Stern as well. It is well worth it and you won't be listening to much regular radio again. Good Luck with the new ride!

Root..

"Best of Sirius" is an additional $4/month... You get Howard 100 & 101, all the NFL, Martha Stewart, NASCAR, Playboy, and... me.

How are your ratings Steve? Do they give you a demographics like breakdown of listeners b/c I assume they can based on a subscription service like that.

There are no Arbitrons for Satellite, but Sirius and XM poll subscribers on their listening habits, and ATR has grown substantially in the past 2 years. Sirius estimates that any moment during the live broadcast's three hours, 5,000 radio are tuned to the show and that in a week, 20,000 will tune in at some point. The show has a very high rate of retention (time spent on channel).

And between the three airings of the show on Sirius, the addition of XM (unknown quantity yet) and podcast/stream/archive at the website (9,000 'cast subscribers), it appears that anywhere between 30,000-40,000 will hear portions of the show over the course of a week. I can also tell how we're doing based on callers, advertising inquiries, Emails, etc... Bottom line is that it's been going very well.
