Weekend Edition Saturday : NPR

I'd never focused precisely on how long the Weekend Editiion Saturday program runs, but I was aware that it did seem to repeat itself at some point.

It looks like WUNC runs the program from 8-10, and then repeats the first hour from 10-11.

How hard would it be to note this here?

All Things Considered : NPR

It says here that the program is 2 hours and that sounds about right. Does that mean that WUNC repeats the first half hour then from 6 to 6:30? Why?

Hmm, does this mean Back Porch Music at a time other than when broadcast?

Note the part of this story that includes a tomato farmer in NC who says that he employs a lot of young teenagers to pick his crop.

I would thinkt that a station that calls itself "North Carolina Public Radio" would be doing several things.

One, reporting more about this practice so we can all understand it better.

Perhaps diverting resources to do this instead of asking listeners to tell the station what they think the Civil War legacy in NC is.

At the VERY least, I'd put a link to this story on the WUNC site and ask for comment about the story and about what WUNC might do to add to the coverage of the issue, again, so we all understand better.

I wonder how this is working out at NPR?

From WUNC & NPR — North Carolina Public Radio WUNC

The WUNC announcers have been talking about a Civil War project. I just came to the website and there is no mention of Civil War! Amazing, but not surprising. Using the search function on the page, I also come up with zero.
I heard them announce it again this morning (Monday) and so looked again. If you are into reading advertising banners, perhaps you would have caught it. I did not. Here it is.
