KNAU Insider prEview – November 2nd, 2018
Schedule Time Change

With the change to standard time for nearly all the country on Sunday, KNAU moves for the next few months into our winter schedule.

The Friday schedule to KNAU News/Talk contains the most obvious changes: Fresh Air Friday will move to 11am while Science Friday will shift back to a noon start. Fresh Air will still be heard at one o’clock Monday through Thursday. A more subtle consequence of the time change will be to 1-A at nine in the morning: For a few months the first hour of the program will be live, so it will be possible to call-in to the program or respond online. Also the Marketplace Morning Report shift to the even hours of Morning Edition.
