Our Week In The Web: June 19, 2015

We moved a few things around this week in our regular broadcast schedule, and we thought it might be nice to explain our reasoning again, even if it doesn't necessarily affect what you see on our website and in our podcast download feeds. Our website is the same, no matter where you visit our site from. But the programs we send out into the great blue ether (read: the wider national public radio audience) often changes. Some stations play us live at 10/9c for two straight hours. Some stations play one of our hours live. Others replay our broadcasts at different times throughout the country (and a few stations wait until their broadcast time to decide which of our two aired hours to play.) With that in mind, we decided to shift programs around on Thursday after the fast-changing Charleston shooting story developed well beyond the end of our hour that morning on just that topic. The audio and page for the broadcast stayed up on our site, but we changed the programs we sent out to those stations that play us at different hours of the day. Was this a good idea? We're still figuring that out in conversation with station managers around the country. But we wanted to be honest with you about what's going on behind the scenes.
