After September 17, SPR will no longer air Car Talk on KPBX and KSFC.
When the Magliozzi brothers retired four years ago, we aired the re-purposed encore shows provided to us by NPR. That took on a greater poignancy when Tom died two years ago. Now we’ve been told that NPR will simply send reruns.
While we will deeply miss our Saturday appointment with Tom and Ray, it is our belief radio needs to look to the present and the future. We’re always watching for great new emerging shows, and as a result we’re going to start airing NPR’s Ask Me Another in the Car Talk slots. It's witty, clever, irreverent -- many of the qualities exemplified by Car Talk. It won’t, however, tell you how to fix your ’81 Honda, sorry.
Thanks for being a devoted and loyal Car Talk listener all these years. We’re living in a changing world and SPRwill do our best to keep bringing you great things on the radio.
And always remember, "Don’t drive like my brother."
