The times I have listened to Tara on her late show (I think it started at 9pm) I've liked her. She does repeat repeat repeat herself alot, but when she is talking about local issues, she has obviously really put alot of research into it. Not sure how she'll do on the drivetime, but I'll give her a chance.
When Katz would get on my nerves, I'd turn the station for about 10 minutes and then go back.
