Robin Young of WBUR’s “Here & Now”
Colorado Public Radio (KCFR 90.1 FM) is one of 15 public radio organizations that will contribute to NPR’s “Here & Now,” which replaces “Talk of the Nation” beginning Monday. NPR announced the cancellation of “TOTN” in March (http://blogs.denverpost.com/ostrow/2013/03/29/npr-cancels-talk-of-the-nation/13472/) after 20 years on the air. The idea is to allow NPR to cover breaking news between “Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered” where previously it had no outlet to do so.
The new show will air Monday-Thursday, noon-2 p.m. on CPR; “Science Friday” with Ira Flatow continues on Fridays.
CPR staffers have contributed to NPR programs for years but this formalizes the arrangement via “Here & Now,” a production of WBUR in Boston, which expands to two hours. Robin Young, the longtime host of “Here & Now,” will now co-anchor with Jeremy Hobson, previously of “Marketplace Morning Report.”
Per the CPR release: the local news operation will contribute “Colorado stories and sources for interviews, in addition to offering occasional reporter debriefs. CPR will also contribute to special segments, including business and technology.”
