I don't think that's the issue...I wanted to see Marketplace back, 
too...but I liked it when I could catch the last bit of ATC on my commute 
home; I routinely work late (helps avoid afternoon rush hour) and often I'm 
on the road around 6 - 7pm.

That said, I'll up the ante on the gripefest :-) by saying how distasteful 
I've found the On Point/Connection rebroadcast block.  Four straight hours 
of call-in talk is more than even a flaming liberal like me can take...but 
I do rather like On Point; I think Tom Ashbrook's a better host than Dick 
Gordon myself, but Dick's pretty good too.
