"Nightside Project," to give it its full name - and as of this week, 
it's off 3WT in Washington and KIRO in Seattle and again being heard 
only on KSL from 7-10 PM MT.

Whether or not you like the show (it's definitely an acquired taste), 
I'll give Bonneville credit for at least addressing the question of how 
to attract younger listeners to its news-talk stations. At KIRO, they 
hired former NPR host Luke Burbank to host a new evening show called, so 
help me, "Too Beautiful To Live." Reviews on that one are mixed as well...
