Stations and Time
The show is broadcast each weekday from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. (half an hour later in Newfoundland) throughout Canada. It used to be widely accessible to much of the northern United States, but as the CBC switched its CBC Radio One from powerful AM signals in Eastern Canadian urban centres to FM stations, it became harder to receive CBC content further away from the border.
As It Happens can be heard on CBC Radio One's channel 159 on Sirius Satellite Radio (in both Canada and the U.S.), on an increasing number of American public radio stations, and on the Internet via streaming audio at the CBC's website. Older broadcasts are available as a stream from the CBC's website, but without the music.
As It Happens is heard on a delayed-broadcast basis in the United States; American stations that carry As It Happens do not air the final half hour (7:30 to 8:00 p.m.) of the program. Two more stations are expected to join the "As It Happens" network on July 2, 2012: WGBH-FM in Boston and Vermont Public Radio in that state.
During the summer, the program ends at 7:30 and is followed by a half-hour program from the network's schedule of short-run summer series. In the fall of 2009, the show also added a repeat airing at midnight Tuesday morning to Friday morning.

—P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
“Dear, why should you command me to my rest,
When now the night doth summon all to sleep?
Methinks this time becometh lovers best;
Night was ordained together friends to keep.
How happy are all other living things,
Which though the day disjoin by several flight,
The quiet evening yet together brings,
And each returns unto his love at night.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
