Name That Tune

I'm not sure NTT is gone for good, but it will be a retooling.

The thoughts on this second guessing our motives are pretty amazing. Why would I go out of my way to kill what was my favorite segment? Or maybe you think I was lying then?

For those who say we don't listen, why do you think it came back at all? Because you spoke out.

As for other changes, let me speak to several of them:

Bleeping truncated swear words: This was easy. We PROBABLY wouldn't have gotten in trouble for them. But they also don't add anything to the show. In the meantime, doing it actively kept us from adding several stations. And ultimately, that's the goal. The show is still the same, the topics are still the same.

As for dumping NTT to have a more planned show, having NTT every Friday made that the easiest day to plan on of the week. I loved having that to lean on every Friday.

I can't say that you should like any changes or you shouldn't. After all, we spend 5 hours a day judging everything and everyone else, so you are certainly welcome to judge us. But in the end, I'd prefer people didn't always assume we're someone how doing stuff for all the worst reasons possible. Sometimes its just what we think is best. Sometimes we're right and sometimes we're wrong. Just like like we have been for the first 13 years we've done the show. These are all changes that we've considered for a long time, we merely decided to stop moving at a glacial pace. You'll see when the new website debuts.

In the end, thanks for continued listening and for caring enough to post!

I appreciate the reply Free Beer, and it explains many of the questions we all had. But I must ask why all the segments that allowed listeners to call in and try and win something are disappearing? FIrst STS, then NTT and now the only segment that has any winning involved is DTZ. I can't see anyone sponsoring STT because you almost always win, listeners only win about 7-10% of the time. I would figure that the ability to win things might draw attention in new markets especially from those that are up in the air about listening to your show in the first place. It just seems odd that the segments that are gone are the ones that were some of the most listener oriented segments.
