Companion Programs

A sister program, the Marketplace Morning Report, offers a seven-minute, twenty-second morning broadcast on many public radio stations, often replacing the last segment of National Public Radio's Morning Edition each hour.

All three shows share reporters, and to a lesser degree, editorial and production staff.

Numbers Music

Every day the show has a segment where they "do the numbers," that is, they tell the ending positions of the three major United States stock market indexes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite. If all three have values higher at the end of the day than they did at the market's open that morning, the music played during the segment is "We're in the Money". When all three close below their opening positions, "Stormy Weather" is played. Often the indexes have little change from their opening positions or even differ with some up and others down; in this case, "It Don't Mean A Thing" serves as the background music for the segment.
