Here and Now is a public radio magazine program produced by NPR and WBUR in Boston, Massachusetts, and distributed across the United States by NPR to over 425 stations across the United States.[1]

Schedule

Beginning July 1, 2013, Here and Now began broadcasting as a two-hour program with a full rollover meaning the show broadcasts from Noon to 4 pm ET [needs update] airing Monday to Friday [2] and generally in the midday hours on its affiliate stations. The show covers U.S. and international news, and provides arts and culture coverage.

Here and Now has three cutaways for newscasts: One from 01:00 to 06:00 past the hour, filled by national news from NPR. Two summaries of national news headlines are also read at 18:00 and 38:00 past the hour; these summaries are one-minute each and are produced entirely in-house at WBUR.[3]

History

Here and Now first began airing in 1998, when it was co-hosted by Tovia Smith and Bruce Gellerman.[citation needed] At the time, the show was billed as a local or regional current affairs show, concentrating on newsworthy events throughout the six New England states. The show moved to its current format soon after.

Host Robin Young joined the show in 2000, replacing Smith, and outlasted a series of co-hosts, including founding co-host and executive producer Gellerman. A staff of about ten full-time employees and interns helps her produce the show each day.[1] In 2005, WBUR had announced that the show would return to its roots as a local current affairs program, but a distribution deal with PRI changed that plan.[citation needed]

On March 29, 2013, NPR and WBUR announced that Talk of the Nation would cease production and that NPR would replace it with a two-hour version of Here and Now.[4][5] The reported reason for this change was due to a desire of the bigger NPR member stations to have a mid-day magazine-style news-show rather than a talk show.[6]
