i wish they wouldn't mess with what worked. switching the day and time is ok, but one of the things that make the bit great is the dynamic of the 3 or 4 hosts playing together. the bits that rely more heavily on caller involvement are way more prone to sucking. sometimes STS sucks, sometimes it's great. sometimes CWTTAB sucks, sometimes it's great. we tune in to listen to FB, HW, zane, and joe, not a bunch of regular folks. that's what makes the show work, you guys have a talent that most of us don't.
also, the excitement of buzzing in when you're alone and you beat all of the "radio" guys is great. it's a good feeling when i can name a song quicker than a bunch of guys who have worked in radio for at least a decade.
i enjoyed the old way it was done, when whoever won picked the list for the next week. ikb does a fine job, but it just wasn't the same. maybe whatever you see/hear first is what you enjoy most.

They didn't become a successful radio show by just doing the same thing every day. They have to evolve into new and different things. Who know, you may end up liking this more than the other one. I see some very strong advantages to this.
The show members won't be so dominate on the songs and it will give the audience more of a chance to win prizes....which means they are trying to help us out. It will also be good in those situations when, let's say, Hot Wings is playing and the answer is obvious but he does not get it. It will make for good public mocking. Do I like the old style, yes, but let's at least test the waters on this before we start criticizing it.
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.
