PROGRAMMING NOTE: 'New' 9a-12n ATR set for 6/28 bow
No SiriusXM (Internet only) for a few days after working out a new contract earlier today... The 2009-10 contract expired over the weekend and show cannot air until the new one is signed later this week.
As part of the discussions, SiriusXM requested the show move to mornings (9am-12noon Eastern; 6am-9am Pacific) to better accomodate their scheduling needs. There are some executional elements to work out yet, and I am not averse to the shift. In fact, previous days' replays will run from 6-9a before the new 9a-12n live show, providing 6 straight distinct hours of ATR daily. Saratoga broadcasts will likely run 3-6p daily, though that isn't finalized yet... ATR LISTEN LIVE Today... BILL MOTT... MIKE SMITH... STEVE HASKIN... JOHNNY D... ERIC GUILLOT... More!

I guarantee that they are handing the afternoons over to the Busted Open people and all that fight nonsense.

I hope Hammer still finds time to do the show with the new time slot...always has great insight on west coast racing.

My commute just got a LOT lousier. I won't be able to hear ATR live any more.
I should have known -- anything GOOD on XM eventually gets screwed up. They never answer my politely-worded emails, and calling them gets me directly in contact with India. This will finally give me the best excuse for canceling it. |

Wow, no more live races I guess then in the morning. What am I going to listen to on the way home, not "Busted Open"!

Grrr. No more live races. I guess the good news is we can get Steve's handicapping views the day of. Of course, I imagine it will be tough to get any west coast perspective for that day's racing.

I'll be cancelling my Sirius at the end of the term. My unit is only 1˝ years old, but it's (programming) not that good anymore.
now I have to fix the sound on my laptop, too. The big question: Boortz or Byk?

What happens to ratings if we’re all listening to archives? How does that work? I want to be supportive of Steve and his show but there’s no way I can listen live any longer. Even if I could stream at work, a show about horse racing and betting? OY!

I'll be listening if I get the stream working in work, but that's the only way I'll be able to listen. Yes, I will also use the archives as I have in the past.
Steve, I will do my best to support you no matter how the schedule and deal pan out. You're the best! |

This really is a bad decision, but thats business now a days.Customer comes last too many times and we really see it when it comes to horse racing. Also many guys enjoy Howard Stern on siriusXM and thats the time he is on. Hope it works out, but not hearing live races and the west coast is kinda shut out makes it hard to swallow. Good Luck

Steve
XM does the TVG call of races during the day here on east coast. are they bumping them off the air. It wouldn't be bad to hear your guests in the AM. Might be tough to get some trainers as they are probably still at their barns doing AM workouts.

You will soon be the new "Howard Stern". Any chance you will hire "Baba Boooooey".

Hopefully your getting a raise and will be making the money you deserve for having far and away the best horse racing show on radio or television. The fact that you continuously fill 15 hours of air time each and every week makes your efforts extraordinary.
The day will come when you will have options in the industry that few others have. If Andy can become the best known handicapper working for the most influential racing circuit in the country, there is no reason why you cannot achieve a following of similar significance within a reasonable amount of time and growth. Good things continue to occur, they are just different not necessarily bad. Congrats are actually in order and are extended sincerely. Last edited by docicu3 : 06-08-2010 at 03:53 PM. |
