The weekday lineup welcomes BBC Newshour at 2 p.m. The international news service provides timely reports and analysis from around the world. Airing between Here & Now and All Things Considered, BBC Newshour prioritizes the top headlines and breaking news of each day.

The weekend schedule welcomes Conversations from the World Cafe, a “best of” collection of recent World Café interviews and performances.

Statewide from WUIS, featuring reporting from WGLT and our NPR Network sister stations throughout Illinois, will air Saturday and Sunday. Throughline from NPR will also air twice each weekend.

Leaving the schedule

A few shows depart the on-air lineup. But don’t despair. ALL of these shows are still freely available as on-demand podcasts.

On the Media, This American Life, Code Switch/Life Kit, and Ted Radio Hour can all be found in the NPR app. Donors giving at least $8/month or $96/year can activate NPR+ for sponsor-free listening and bonus episodes.

Today, Explained can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

Cost-savings from programming changes will be re-invested in local news and programming.

These changes are effective Sept. 2, 2024. View the complete WGLT schedule.
