Exactly why I took off on Friday! I hope it lasts until midnight!
If a track gets the reputation that you're required to have the next day off at work because the programs are so long and the headliner runs last then weekday shows will never be a success. It would be smarter for the NDRL to run the LM's first and get people out of there by 9:30, that will make people want to come back. The LM feature ending at midnight will make any future weekday shows a disaster financially.
