All Things Considered (ATC) is the afternoon news program on the NPR public radio network in the United States .
Charisma
The program is broadcast Monday through Sunday. The two-hour weekday edition (including public holidays) is produced live from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm ( east coast time ) and then repeated as a continuous loop ("feed") until 10 pm (east coast time). If necessary, the program will be updated during the repetition. Local partner stations take over the feed and broadcast it at a convenient time on site. Most stations broadcast ATC from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. local time.
At the weekend, a shortened, one-hour version will be broadcast under the name Weekends On All Things Considered (WATC). The broadcast usually takes place at 5 p.m. local time.
history
The show has been broadcast since 1971 and, together with its counterpart in the morning ( Morning Edition ), forms the flagships of NPR News of the NPR newsroom. It had an audience of 17.7 million in 2017. ATC was conceived as a radio program for evening rush hour ("drive time radio").
The weekend edition has been broadcast since 1977.
In January 2000 the first edition of the All Songs Considered branch ran .
format
Each broadcast hour consists of four segments (A – D). This program framework offers the partner stations great flexibility: They can take over the individual segments completely, partially or not at all. This gives you the option of broadcasting your own reports and reports within the program. There is a dedicated time window that the partner stations can fill (so-called “station breaks”), but they can also replace individual reports with local reports.
At the beginning of the broadcast hour there is a 60-second short summary ("billboard") of the top topics for the next hour. Many stations replace the original version with a local version. Then the news follow. The message block is five minutes long and has short pauses after three minutes. During this break, many partner stations skip the main news and broadcast local news or traffic reports.
The A segment begins after 6:30 minutes and lasts around 12:30 minutes. This segment deals (similar to the Morning Edition ) with the top topic of the day. In the weekend edition, a large report is usually broadcast under the title "Our cover story today". This is followed by a 90-second time window that the partner stations can fill (e.g. with local headlines, traffic reports or advertising).
The B segment begins after 20:30 minutes and is around 8 minutes long. Another “station break” and the news follow.
The C segment begins after 35:30 minutes and has a length of 13 minutes.
The last block, the D segment, starts at minute 50.
