Man, that rots.  "The Rest of the Story" has been part of my afternoon
drive-time routine for at least a decade.  I was wondering why I didn't
hear it yesterday at 5:54, with no mention of its absence; now I know. :-(

Sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if nobody picked it up.  The all-talk
stations would probably view it as too much of an interruption to their
existing continuity.  The news format has been locked up by 'BZ (and
'BUR too, I suppose, but they can't have it), so that's out now.  And
I fear 'JIB doesn't reach Acton, where I work...
