The better the time-slot (in radio terms), the more competition there is. I think the timing of the post game show is much more relevant since it's a one time shot for non-members if they miss it live.

Since the regular show loops all day, I'm not sure how important the show time is, other than it changes when people might be able to chat.

And obviously it's harder/easier to get guests to come on at different times, and being on later in the day often means you're behind the curve on the day's news.  Then again you get late-breaking news before the next day's morning shows, and you have more time to analyze the spin.

PS---Is Cenk more refreshed, alert and on top of things now that he can sleep at a normal time?  How about the rest of the TYT staff?  I'm being serious here, sleep is a huge deal, and ultimately I'd like to have Cenk be at his best, regardless of the time of day.

Besides, since I'm a member I rarely watch live and prefer to download the podcasts to listen while cleaning, commuting, walking, etc.
