"The Takeaway," the so-far highly unsuccessful attempt by PRI to do morning drive public radio-style news for a younger audience is only on 55 primary signals after four years, is on home station WNYC NY's AM signal, not on in LA, Chicago, Washington or San Francisco, and has been met with hostility from the diehard public radio listeners from the beginning for its snarky tone and slicker, cable news-style production--it's shortening from two hours to an hour and first feeding at 9 a.m. ET, with an updated feed around midday: http://www.current.org/radio/radio1213takeaway.html?utm_source=Subscribers&utm_campaign=ed6b96e651-TRI_07-16-2012&utm_medium=email "Takeaway" started around the same time as NPR's "The Bryant Park Project," a similar attempt with a more informal approach that got a loyal audience on podcasts but, like "Takeaway," was met with hostility from the mainline public radio audience and from most NPR stations and went off after nine months.
