Radio Features
Clock Changes Coming To NPR’s Programming Every public radio program has a clock— templates that stations like Prairie Public use to track the timing of a show’s stories, interviews, and newscasts each day. Many listeners set their own daily schedules around the programs they hear. On November 17, NPR is making some changes to their newsmagazine clocks, and you’ll notice as you listen to Prairie Public. This will help align programs with the changing way that people listen to radio today, and it will provide Prairie Public with more flexibility to include the local content that’s important to you. So how will you notice the changes? Starting November 17, you’re likely to hear several more regular breaks for local content in Morning Edition, and a 4-minute local feature segment in each hour of All Things Considered. In both clocks, music breaks are longer, giving us more opportunities to share details on upcoming stories while still having time to insert our local material. Regular Morning Edition features like “StoryCorps” and the sports commentaries by Frank DeFord will continue, though you may hear them in different parts of the program. NPR is also adding five seconds to their national funding credits (The “Support for NPR is provided by...” messages you hear during NPR programs). There will continue to be eight scheduled credits per hour in both newsmagazines. We’re sharing feedback with NPR about these changes as they roll out. If you have questions or comments, please send them to us at info@prairiepublic.org.

ister Rogers’ Neighborhood debuted on public television in February 1968, and he and his neighborhood of make believe have been charming audiences young and old ever since. Fred Rogers’ appeal for support of public broadcasting before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Communications is legendary, and his legacy endures—with “it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood” part of our collective lexicon. Stay tuned for more bits of history throughout this year as we celebrate 50 years of public media that entertains, but also educates, informs, and inspires.
