Marketplace (radio Program) - Companion Programs

Companion Programs

A sister program, the Marketplace Morning Report, offers two seven-minute, twenty-second morning broadcast that replace the business news-oriented "E" segment of the first and second hours of National Public Radio's Morning Edition on many public radio stations. The Marketplace brand also took over the money advice program Sound Money, which was renamed Marketplace Money in 2005, with content oriented toward a personal finance theme. All three shows share reporters and editorial staff. In addition, Marketplace reporters were featured in a daily interview segment on NPR's Day to Day program, an unusual link, since Marketplace is not otherwise affiliated with NPR. The partnership continued until Day to Day aired its final edition in the spring of 2009. In September 2010, American Public Media launched the Marketplace Tech Report with John Moe. In the same month American Public Media and New York Public Radio announced the creation of Freakonomics Radio, a co-production with Marketplace and WNYC, which features journalist Stephen J. Dubner and economist Steven D. Levitt. The show is produced in WNYCs studios in New York, and contributes regular features to Marketplace. In 2011, Marketplace launched a five minute market wrapup show entitled Marketplace Index.

Famous quotes containing the words companion and/or programs:

    “This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
    —British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)

    “Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
