Background

NPR created Day to Day to extend NPR news coverage to a midday audience, continuing the tradition of fellow NPR newsmagazines All Things Considered and Morning Edition. Regularly covered topics include news, entertainment, politics and the arts. Contributors include familiar NPR personalities, reporters from NPR member stations, and writers for Slate. One unusual aspect of the show is a story and embedded promotion from a reporter from Marketplace, a show produced by American Public Media. All Things Considered (ATC) is a news radio program in the United States, broadcast on the National Public Radio network. ... Morning Edition is an American radio news program produced and distributed by National Public Radio (NPR). ... For other uses, see Slate (disambiguation). ... Marketplace is a radio program that focuses on business, the economy, and events that influence them. ... American Public Media logo American Public Media is the brand under which Minnesota Public Radio distributes public radio programming outside of the state of Minnesota. ...

Format

While Day to Day is divided into segments similar in length to those on Morning Edition and All Things Considered, there are at least two major differences: the C segment is divided into two sections; and the stories featured on Day to Day are generally shorter.

Day to Day begins with a sixty-second billboard, wherein Alex Chadwick and Madeleine Brand talk about what will be coming up on the show. The billboard is followed by the standard NPR newscast from one minute past to six minutes past the hour. Some stations utilize the last 2.5 minutes of the newscast to deliver local midday news reports. A thirty-second music bed follows, and then Segment A begins.

Segment A (duration 12:29) contains the top story of the day, and usually synopses of longer-term issues viewed through the lens of current events. Segment topics can range from the American judicial system to economics to geopolitics to conversations with notable newsmakers, and more. Segment A closes at nineteen minutes past the hour and leads into a two-minute station break.

At twenty-one after, Segment B (duration 7:49) begins. Segment B composes the remainder of the first half-hour, and as such continues coverage on important news events of the day, or segues into lighter culturally or socially relevant stories. Segment B closes at 28:50 past the hour, and goes into a local break until the bottom of the hour.

At half past the hour, Day to Day returns with Segment C1 (duration 5:14), usually reserved for updates on stories presented in the first half-hour, or different angles on major news stories. Segment C2 (duration 3:59) is home to the Marketplace report, a discussion about an item of business news with a reporter from Marketplace, capped with a short preview of that evening's program. C2 ends at 39:30 after the hour. Marketplace is a radio program that focuses on business, the economy, and events that influence them. ...

Following another thirty-second music break, Day to Day enters Segment D (duration 8:59). There is little specificity to the content of Segment D; stories can range from international and domestic issues to long-term reports on a variety of topics. Segment D runs from forty minutes to forty-nine minutes past the hour, and another two-minute station break ensues.

Segment E (duration 8:20) begins at fifty-one minutes past the hour, and was until recently divided into Segments E1 and E2, which lasted roughly three and a half minutes each. On February 20, 2007, Day to Day combined the two E segments into one long one. Segment E is usually devoted to commentary and light features, including "The Unger Report," a satirical take on news and current events. In some cases, Segment E is followed up by the credits, and Day to Day comes to a close.
