WGCU and NPR Reset the Clock

NPR

 

 

 

Did you know that every public radio program has a clock? Broadcast clocks are set templates that stations like ours use to track the timing of a show's stories and interviews, newscasts, and funding credits each day.

This fall NPR is making some changes to its newsmagazine clocks, in partnership with member stations across the country. This will help align programs with the way people listen to radio today, and provide stations with more flexibility to include the local news and information that's important to you.

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.

How else will you notice the changes? Starting November 17, you will hear more but shorter national newscasts, longer music breaks and several more breaks for local information in Morning Edition.

NPR is looking for your feedback. You may add comments and questions below.
