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?

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!

Default Sirius 220 vs. XM 206

Does anyone know if the horse racing coverage on both channels is identical?

Yes. Other than ATR (9a-12p live; 6-9a replay), HRRN is available 6-7p Wed-Thur-Fri.

Equine Forum & Down the Stretch are on Sirius 92 & XM 92 Saturdays.

All the programming -- including the fill-in HRTV audio -- is available at Online 964.

Steve, thanks!

My Sirius radio is unable to exceed channel 184 and I've heard no HRTV audio fill-in programming on XM 206; just "programming will return later".

Sirius 220 is part of All Access/Premier package which is $4/mo above the basic subscription. For now, HRTV audio appears to be available only on SXM Online (962/964).

Happy to have the morning replays back, but not sure why they had to dump 2 hours of HRRN for "programming returns later" loop. I liked listening to a race or 2 on my way home.
SXM, a great idea run by idiots.
