On May 6, 2019, NPR News introduced a new theme for Morning Edition, replacing the familiar music from BJ Leiderman. Disappointed listeners have shown their ire, but perhaps there's a fix: Updating the voiceover timing to match the new music.

In this critical review, Daniel M. Reck breaks down the new and old Morning Edition themes and demonstrates how a minor tweak of the billboard script will return the fan-favorite Leiderman melody to prominence while creating a stronger hook at the top of the venerable program.
