...shorter probably isn't worth the effort to come in. Two hours also probably doesn't justify full time pay. Randi's show is easy to pad to four hours because it's almost entirely caller driven.
Franken has said on several occassions that people wondered how he'd fill three hours, and he thinks he could easily fill four if he had it. (Contradicting my own headline.)
Don't forget that a three hour radio show is really only two hours of content, with an hour of ads. Probably trim out another half hour for bumpers, phone number giving, and other housekeeping, and you're barely giving them time to do anything.
Three or four hours is (was) also a pretty standard music deejay shift... again, much less is probably not worth it.
(That said, I'd support giving Ed 3 hours on Saturday or Sunday in place of a "best of" show. Why not start a petition?)
