Probably going to be against the grain, but I think the idea is interesting.
Thinking of like, the late late night where you probably don't have a host and someone wants to have one since that's what I like most about radio.
If it's treated as an experimental placeholder until they can support a host being in that time slot, I say go for it, line for me is drawn when they use that to replace hosts.
