Daily Programming Slots
Morning Drive
Weekdays start with NPR’s “Morning Edition” (6-9 a.m.), “1A” (9-10 a.m.) and “Texas Standard” (10-11 a.m.). The most listened-to news radio program, “Morning Edition” has been around for more than three decades and covers multi-faceted stories and commentaries. “1A” guides listeners past the headlines to get to the heart of stories. And “Texas Standard” provides our audience with the regional news that matters the most.
Middays
Highlights within our midday schedule include “The Takeaway” (11 a.m.-noon) and “Think” (1-2 p.m.). “The Takeaway” reports on issues of race, media and inequality. The hour-long show is dedicated to voices and perspectives often overlooked in broadcast news coverage. In each episode of “Think,” listeners tweet, call or email questions and comments for the show’s current guest. Previous guests include Melinda Gates, Malcolm Gladwell, Jane Goodall and many more.
Afternoon Drive
The drive home features some of the most listened-to news programs in America: “All Things Considered” (3-5:30 p.m.), “The Daily” (5:30-6 p.m.) and “Fresh Air” (6-7 p.m.). “All Things Considered” shares stories and features on the quirky and mainstream media in all areas of life and entertainment. “The Daily” focuses on one big topic a day for 30 minutes. And “Fresh Air” continues to bring people in with probing questions, revelatory interviews and unusual insights.

Evenings on KAMU-FM are made for music, with a variety to suit most any taste. Some nights it’s jazz and classical; on others it’s international music. Check out our weekly schedule to learn more. Every evening ends with stellar reporting from the BBC World Service, beginning at 11 p.m. and continuing through the overnight hours.
