Sirius is running audio tape of television coverage of a ski race from December instead of regular World Radio Network programming tonight. This has prompted a little sarcasm mixed with the frustration and disappointment that has recently characterized the satellite radio sounding board discussions online. Here's a typical comment:
"I agree with everyone here. It's bad enough that now WRN is being preempted for live sports, but for skiing from December? Smart move Siruis, that's sure to bring the subscribers rolling in! What's next, horseshoes from the Iowa State Fair in 1987? I could live with WRN being replaced occasionally for sports but it's apparent by the sports listings that channel 140 is going to be preempted every night as well as on the weekends. Not only that, but prepare to lose 10 non- music channels everytime there is a NASCAR race. Can't wait until the NFL starts up again - between football and Nascar there won't be a single non-music channel left on Sundays. I just voiced my complaints to Sirius and I hope everyone who's upset does the same. If enough people complain maybe something will happen (I know it's a longshot). Now if you'll all excuse me I've got to get back to channel 140 - there's a chicken tossing contest starting!"
