It was meant to attract listeners middays and attract younger listeners. It probably never achieved its first goal because stations that run music during the day are useless to NPR news-only listeners, who won't come back just for one hour at a time. I have no idea what results were on the second count. > But News & Notes (and the Tavis Smiley show before it) did have > a purpose.

Agree, but if the criteria here were ratings and underwriting, I can't imagine News and Notes was tremendously successful. Still, it's hard to fault the current staff. The mistake was probably on NPR's part from the moment Tavis Smiley left; I'm not sure this program ever received the kind of top-tier attention necessary after that. Juan Williams is terrible. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
