KNAU Insider prEview – November 3rd, 2017
This Insider PrEview Is Brought To You By:
Winter Schedule Changes
With the change to standard time for nearly all the country, 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.
Daylight Saving Time returns to the rest of the country the second Sunday of March on the 11th. So just as you’re getting used to hearing Terry Gross Friday mornings we’ll return to the summer schedule.
