Though we expect these changes will positively affect the vast majority of our radio listeners, we also recognize it may inconvenience some. We at KQED welcome your feedback about the upcoming programming changes, which are scheduled to take effect on May 16. Here's a handy visual guide of the changes described above: The evening will now start off with Hidden Brain at 7pm Our Body Politic at 8pm Code Switch at 9pm Life Kit at 9:30pm and Splendid Table at 10pm. On Sundays, Planet Money will move from evening to 3pm and How I Built This moves to 3:30, while TED Radio Hour moves back an hour to 4pm. With this change, KQED listeners can hear BBC World Service every night at this same time. We’ll round out the night with a news refresh from the BBC World Service at 11pm. TED Radio Hour will enter the Saturday night lineup at 10pm. We’ll kick off the night with Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! at 6pm, followed by This American Life at 7pm The Moth at 8pm, and Snap Judgment at 9pm. Saturday evenings on KQED promise to get even livelier. Tech Nation Radio, which airs on Sundays at 10pm, will join the weekday 10pm productions, on Fridays. The evening expansion of Forum will mean our current 8pm weekday programming, which includes World Affairs, Commonwealth Club, City Arts & Lectures, Science Friday, and Kelly Corrigan Wonders, moves to 10pm. Now listeners will have two opportunities to hear co-hosts Alexis Madrigal and Mina Kim engage with guests and callers about the topics most pertinent to us here in the Bay Area and California before most of us go to bed. On weekday evenings, KQED will remake its program schedule by moving our most popular program Forum from 10pm to 8pm. With commutes disrupted for many Bay Area residents, we’re making sure listeners get the news they need by adding an hour of All Things Considered at 1pm The extra hour of All Things Considered will replace The Takeaway. In May 2022, KQED will make optimizations to its radio program schedule to ensure audiences hear the programming they enjoy at the times most convenient to their listening needs and evolving schedules.Īudiences have enjoyed All Things Considered during late-afternoon/early-evening drive times for years. Long drives have been replaced by work-from-home arrangements, hybrid workplaces and staggered schedules. This extends to how our radio audiences listen to KQED. Still - it is free - and I am, once again, back in touch with my friends at KQED-FM.May 2022 - KQED Makes Radio Schedule Changes to Respond to Evolving Listening Routinesįor many of us, the pandemic has fundamentally changed our work lives and daily routines. These are NOT momentary dropouts in service since the dropout will never restart on its own and for several minutes and until I restart the service by following the above sequence. I dont use any of the other aspects of the App so can't comment on those features, but after a week of using it 2X/day for my 45 minute ride, I have at least 1 dropout each day where the feed is lost and the only way to restart it is to return to the HOME screen - press LISTEN LIVE, again - and then push one of the play buttons. they begin to sound, ever-so-slightly the same and like everyone has a cold. I've been listening to KQED-FM for decades now and, the sample rate on this app certainly takes, otherwise, unique and highly recognizable voices, into the realm of "Glee" singers. so I could listen to KQED on my - now - daily commute on BART. I downloaded this for the Live streaming.
