Mr. Biased,

NOBODY heard Russo's show on Thursday. "Russo" is a synonym for "irrelevant."

Manhasset Fats- I disagree. A lot of people heard it and it was a much better show that Mike's yesterday (read the analysis in the threads at MikeFrancesa.com). I tried calling in for 15 minutes and kept getting busy signals until I got through. It was also refreshing to hear like 40-43 minutes of talk an hour, oppposed to the numerous amounts of commericals the FAN runs.

Neil,

why don't you address the fact that Sirius refused to stream channel 123 due to "contractual obligations"?. I know so because I wrote them a letter, and here was their response:

"we certainly understand that you are disappointed that you are
unable to access Chris Russo on the SIRIUS Player. Some of our
agreements with our non-music broadcast partners give us the right to broadcast our programming via satellite radio only. For this reason, some of our programming cannot be broadcast over the Internet. We are working to acquire additional internet broadcast rights, where possible, and appreciate your feedback in this area."

Thats fine and dandy, but I WAS ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE SHOW BY SIGNING UP FOR XM TRIAL!!! As a Sirius subscriber, do I have to sign up for XM as well to hear Dog? Is Sirius and XM not the same company? What about the merger we heard soooo much about?

I saw a lot of questions posted by your readers about the show (channel 123 itself) not being available online. Not everyone can have a SIRIUS player at work. ALL subscribers are entitled to the online feed with music and original programming. Neil, as someone who has been out in front of the whole saga, please address this issue.
