Fran Tarkenton's show has been moved to Ch107 SXM Stars. It wasn't on Ch.104 when I came home and I really had to scramble :jj: to find it. This is better. I have more time to come home and listen to the Tuesday morning replay.

What time does it replay on Tuesdays? I see nothing here but not surprising SIRIUSXM would not update.

It will probably be on the site tomorrow goreds. Tuesday morning 2am-4am. I don't think it was announced that the show was switching to Stars. I thought it had already been cancelled. I thought goodness first Party Mega Mix, now this.

I think Fran Tarkenton has been cancelled. It wasn't on and I cant find it listed on Indie.
Or Stars, Mad Dog, Sports Zone or Business Radio. Any where I thought it could have been switched to.
