Kevin, my thoughts were the same.  The parallel might be how CNN's
"Headline News" has evolved.  Nowadays I view that as "news for those
with short attention spans."

The target demographic here is probably ages 20-35 -- the type who
would not be a typical "Morning Edition" listener.  This show needs to
compete with all the "Morning Zoos" out there.

The interesting challenge is this:  How will both these offerings make
headway in serving a demographic that listens to radio much less than
their older peers?

This offering might wind up as an HD2 offering as well as a largely
online offering.
