Not by a dramatic amount but they definitely drop. At the final quarter hour they are their worst. By this time most people have turned to the network that will be broadcasting their team's game. So yeah it probably runs at least a half hour too long. But it won't become a 1.5 hour show. Plus it's much easier to schedule the rest of the day with the program ending at the top of the hour.

Didn't it used to be 90 minutes, from 11:30 til 1? I understand the programming part...it's funny you mention 12:15...isn't that about the time Jillian Barberie used to do the weather on the Fox show?
I never saw the Chris Myers show because the local affiliate plays Redskins related shows from 11 to 12.
