David,

I've been hosting & producing a "Straight No Chaser" broadcast for 15+ years at KSJS 90.5fm San Jose and www.ksjs.org

I did the show without a title early on and went with the current title after getting permission from the Monk family.

There's a North Carolina station that has a SNC show with different hosts thoughout the week in the same time slot.

After learning about the NC show thought about changing, but the show already was 'known' and had an idendity of sorts for more than 10 years at that time so we just kept it going.

Carry on!
