PRX Late Night
Hi friend of PRX,
No matter what happens, Jay and Conan are welcome to join PRX and post as much of their creativity as they want. That said, at least one station is giving NBC a run for its money in a weekly late-night timeslot. KUT has created a three-hour block on Sundays called O’Dark 30 that features lots of hand-picked stuff, most of it from PRX. Check out their playlists for some inspired programming! Stations, why not try this, too?
This one-hour, newscast compatible special is a survey of the recession’s impact on communities and families from California to Maine, Virginia, Chicago, North Carolina, Washington, DC and Michigan. You’ll hear stories about people in tough and resilient situations presented by station-based and independent producers. This show is part of the CPB collaboration to cover the economic downturn.

Coming Jan. 15: “Who Was This Man?” — a Black History Month special from Talent Quest winner Al Letson
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s hallowed “I Have a Dream Speech” is an iconic moment in the history of civil rights. But this historic moment would probably have never happened if it weren’t for a man standing in King’s shadow, Mr. Bayard Rustin. The one-hour program follows the standard NPR Specials (:20/:40) clock and is newscast compatible. The program will be available without charge to all public radio stations.
