I phoned them (from Thailand) to ask them why and they said it was an "update" and that they would register my complaint with someone with "higher authority". The nice lady told me I could regain my access to NASCAR by purchasing and activating a new SiriusXM radio with a new subscription. Sort of hard to do when they don't have service outside of North America.

The reason they started charging this fee was cause when Sirius took over XM (it was never a merger) they made a deal with the FCC that they could not raise the BASE sub price for a few years, so gone were the lifetime sub offers & free internet listening. I saw someone comment on wanting qualifying to be broadcast again. MRN/PRN gave up on that snooze fest cause their affiliates would not give up prime drive time radio to put people to sleep.MikieJ34https://www.blogger.com/profile/06487810875540912389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-10387458039794846032012-03-22T22:58:44.323-04:002012-03-22T22:58:44.323-04:00Dylan,

You must be a Premier subscriber (17.99/mo) and add the internet service to that (3.50/mo). According to their customer service you cannot currently even be Premier without buying a Satellite radio.<br /><br />Sucks to figure this out the hard way. <br /><br />The press release says outright that "subscribers who have SiriusXM Internet Radio access can listen to live broadcasts of every NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race," so I imagine they will at least make Channel 90 available during races to internet-only subscribers.Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083398595794506894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-21673507528570606212012-03-22T21:10:03.206-04:002012-03-22T21:10:03.206-04:00I have been an XM subscriber sin ce 2001.

Even now it is promoted on the website as being “available online” but those who subscribe online only, which is still $15/month, are not able to get the channel without spending an extra $100 to buy a radio and paying close to $20/month to get access to a channel that is not significantly different from several others (NFL or NHL for example) which are available under the online only subscription.<br />If I am either on a computer or “mobile” (on a bus/train) 75% of the time I shouldn’t be forced to buy a radio that I will only use at home just to have access to a channel that is similar to others that I already have access to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-62176376074052510942012-03-22T16:36:52.418-04:002012-03-22T16:36:52.418-04:00Great news for me, because I already have the onli...Great news for me, because I already have the online subscription, which I use here at work.

Then, they did away with it. My subscription is already 15 dollars a month, and I am having a tougher and tougher time justifying it with as many online alternatives as there are that exist. I can back door NASCAR's site and listen to in car audio on my smart phone, I can also get MRN if I choose to. And, since the merger, the personalities for the daily talk shows have gotten progressively worse. Aside from Buddy Baker, there is nothing I want from their daily shows. It becomes a repeat of the previous show. Ever since The Driver's Seat got killed and Kernan got axed, it hasn't been as good. Just my two cents anyways.<br /><br />But, this is an important step forward for the sport. That much I am more than willing to admit. Kudos NASCAR.

Horribly programmed radio. The NASCAR channel is more proof of it. Clair B Lang after all these years still can't do a decent interview. And when she plays back audio she tells the audience 2 or 3 times what they're going to hear before she plays the clip and THEN tells us what we just heard. She makes herself part of the story i.e "I'm there ain't I cool?" Half the time she gives the driver the answer in the question and she refuses to ask the hard questions because she wants drivers to like her. No journalistic stones whatsoever. Free radio may be horribly programmed too, but at least I ain't paying for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
