AN EXPANSION OF NEWS

While some other media outlets are cutting back on the amount of news they deliver, we at AZPM actually are expanding.

Admittedly, we scaled back coverage awhile back, as staffing and finances forced the elimination of our bottom-of-the-hour newscasts. Now, through a combination of factors, we have brought back some of those newscasts and added local features at other times.

The new schedule is a bit tricky, but I'll try to put it in perspective. We are adding newscasts back to All Things Considered at 32 minutes past the hour.

Morning Edition is a bit trickier, but we hope you'll like what we're doing. Monday-Thursday adds a feature at 6:30 and 8:30 and a newscast at 7:33. Friday adds newscasts at 6:33 and 7:33 and Arizona Spotlight continues to air at 8:30.

We may tweak things as we go, but that's how it stands now. We hope you'll tune in. Once we get some of the production kinks out of the way, we'll bring you some of these new features on the Web site as well.
