Based on a few comments he's made about Sirius, I think Art is in good standing with Sirius. They seemed to have pulled out all the stops on setting up his show and giving him a lot of freedom. When that first show was broadcast and it had the vulgar commercial spots, enough people complained that they actually changed the advertising for Art's show. I wrote to Sirius regarding the ads and they even replied to my email. He mentioned that Sirius actually changed their satellite to boost Art's signal - I think Sirius likes Art. Since it's only been a week on the air, they may have numbers already, but will surely give it time for Art's audience to grow. It will be interesting to know how he is doing, and hopefully there will be numbers available soon and DM can find out through Art when they chat.
