Dear Listener,

As the pandemic and on-demand listening continue to affect our daily lives, we're changing our schedule to better reflect those new routines and needs by making sure CapRadio has the latest live information all day long.  

At CapRadio, we believe we must adapt to meet our listeners where you are, and whenever it fits your lifestyle. That’s why we’re shifting the start time for NPR’s flagship afternoon newsmagazine, All Things Considered, up an hour — and public radio’s signature business news show, Marketplace, along with it.

Marketplace now starts at 2 p.m., leading into All Things Considered at 2:30 p.m. The World, which has been airing at 2 p.m., is moving to 7 p.m. The Marketplace evening repeat will slide up from 7 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The other program change now in effect is to make the temporary broadcast of the BBC Newshour in our 12 p.m. hour permanent. 

Our previous 12 p.m. show, The Takeaway, was produced for an east coast morning audience and was six hours old by the time CapRadio’s time slot rolled around. That’s too long for a daily topical news show, and we’ve concluded that it’s not the right fit for our schedule.

Similarly, we’ve decided to drop The Daily from The New York Times. It’s been airing at 7:30 p.m. — more than 16 hours after it’s delivered to podcast feeds.

With these changes, CapRadio now offers live news coverage continuously from 2 a.m. through 6:30 p.m., with the exception of Fresh Air at 1 p.m.

The new schedule changes take effect today, May 2, on the CapRadio News stations in Sacramento, Stockton-Modesto, Tahoe-Reno and Quincy.

Thanks for listening,
