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.
i understand that they need to evolve to stay relevant and fresh, but just look at the poll results above. there's only a very small percentage of listeners who don't love NTT. and they did become a successful radio show by having segments that their listeners enjoy. their evolution as a show manifests itself in other ways, such as the relationships that they have built in the years of working together. sure, they need to get rid of segments occasionally when they get tired. i used to enjoy idiot of the day, but when they dumped it, i understood. it made sense when they quit doing pa pranks. but NTT is a staple of the show. mcdonald's may change their menu around, but they'll always have the ol' favorite big mac.
