Yes.  It's interesting to hear differing stories from differing reps.  If Sirius was a well run company, they would have ALL their reps saying exactly the same thing.  I still suspect they get a commission if they sign someone up or prevent someone from cancelling.

Yes, when I had a subscription years ago they practicall begged me to stay. They threw all kinda of offers my way. I highly suspect they are on commission.

Good News! Good News!  Good News!

I just made a deal with the D. .  (not the Producer)

I contacted Sirius listener care and told them if they would get Art Bell back on the air, I will be a paid subscriber.

In that conversation he said that Mr. Bell's channel was one of the most popular ones.  That he looked for him to be back on Sirius soon.  That was from a representative in Listener Care at Sirius.

I'm starting to think some of the reps at sirius is just telling people whatever they want to hear.  Didn't someone just post that a rep called them and said Art would never ever be back on sirius?

Oh man...
I'm being interviewed..

Let's see,..
Next for me..
Well,  I'm still on the payroll at SiriusXM so I'm going to do my best to
take care of business any way I know how.  Honestly and with integrity. (Sounds like a resume...)

If this ends,  I'll look at whatever options present themselves to me.
I left a pretty good job to do this program with Art.  I figured unless I try, I'll never know.
Better to try and well...  Change, than to not take a chance and wonder the rest of
my life,  "What if?".
I'll find something.  My talents are very diverse and abilities in technical fields, pretty good.

Travel?  That's been a lifelong hobby.  (How else would I know about the cute stumpy
little penguins that hate flash photos?  Oh I forgot to mention, I got ROYALLY yelled at
for taking a flash pic when we were there so you weren't alone in that experience.)

Do I believe in the paranormal......
Do I really need to answer that one?

Paul-
Are you hopeful that there is going to be some kind of agreement? Are you planning on the show being back or do you think it is a lost cause?

I do because he has come here and spoken to us.  Yesterday I didn't believe he would because we heard nothing from him. 

He surely wouldn't have come here to speak if he had no intentions of coming back at all.

Agreed. I had very little hope last night because we'd heard nothing.  When I found out the Facebook was gone I thought that would be the last we'd hear.  So yes, I'm holding out some hope.

Art,
I've spent a lot of time reading these boards but this is my first post.  To say the least, I was heartbroken when I read that Dark Matter was ending so abruptly.  I had hoped that the show would be on the air for years.  I started listening to you on Coast to Coast over ten years ago and had hoped for a long time that you would come back.  There is truly no other host like you.  Your shows provide so much entertainment to us all.  I keep hoping I'll come on here or your website and see that you and Sirius have come to an agreement.  I'm not angry over this and I am trying to be understanding of your side of the situation. 
I'm sure there is a lot that we don't know about that happened behind the scenes.  I just wish you would give it a little more time.  It's only been six weeks! The thought that you wouldn't be on the air for another two years (due to the non-compete) is just awful.
So come on back, Art! Give it some more time. I'll gladly keep my SiriusXM subscription.
